Ides of March my ass

It took me a while but I found a partial list of some of the pork in the new stimulus bill on the Pro Patria Blog.


$2.4 billion carbon capture products…
$4.19 billion for ACORN and other bogus “community organizing” groups…
$650 million digital TV conversion…
$79 billion to bail out the state education system…
$400 million global warming research…
$50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts…
$200 million to refurbish the National Mall…

Makes you want to run right to the mailbox with that check for the IRS, doesn't it? And as an extra added attraction the White House announced that they are anticipating about 1 Trillion in new taxes for 2011. Great.
