For Which It Stands

Top 10 Omnibus Eamarks

Yes Another Bill With More Than 8,000 Earmarks

      Here is the Top 10 Earmarks in the Omnibus Bill.  I will add more to the list as they become available.Surprised  Does anyone have a problem with Democrat Senator Tom Daschle, who's wife is a Washington lobbyist, receiving over $5.2 million in two years as he advised health insurers and hospitals and worked in other industries such as energy and telecommunications, according to a financial statement filed with the Office of Government Ethics, car services received from a client, umm if I give a cop $5 to get out of a ticket I go to jail. Do you think Daschle might pass an earmark that may help one of these companies?

Lets ask ourselves how these help us since we are paying for them!

#1. $1.7 million for pig odor research in Iowa

#2. $2 million 'for the promotion of astronomy' in Hawaii - because nothing says new jobs for average Americans like investing in astronomy

#3. $332,000 for the design and construction of a school sidewalk in Franklin, Texas - not enough $ for schools in the stimulus?

#4. $2.1 million for the Center for Grape Genetics in New York - quick peel me a grape.

        I just love that our tax dollars are being spent so thriftily!!! There is also Vineculture(Study of grapes) also from the same senator, Feinstein, do we really need 2 studies on grapes? This is over a $10 billion dollar a year industry that cant even spend less than 1% for this research??For Vineculture and Grape Genetics to Date: $27.03 Million Dollars. OK how much more can we learn about a grape??? PORK!!!! I wonder if she gets any campaign contributions from these agencies??? She Does!!

#5. $650,000 for beaver management, umm I can have way to much fun with this but must restrain!

#6. $1 million for mormon cricket control in Utah - is that the game or an arthritis problem?

#7. $300,000 for the Montana World Trade Center - A state called Montana? And it needs a World Trade Center?

#8. $200,000 "tattoo removal violence outreach program to could help gang members or others shed visible signs of their past" Seriously?

#9. $475,000 to build a parking garage in Provo City, Utah

#10. $1.7M "for a honey bee factory" in Weslaco, TX
