Quote from huh:
The question that I wish Tom would have asked at the debate:
"You are both saying that we need to cut spending in the face of the large defecits. You both (especially McCain) talk about being a maverick and taking on pork barrel spending. So how exactly did the 700 billion bailout which was supposed to help stabilize the financial markets. How did it become 800 billion dollars? How do the following things help solve the financial crisis:
$2 million tax benefit for makers of wooden arrows for children
$100 million tax break to benefit auto racetrack owners
$192 million in rebates on excise taxes for the Puerto Rican and Virgin Islands rum industry
$148 million in tax relief for U.S. wool fabric producers
$49 million tax benefit for fishermen and other plaintiffs who sued over the 1989 tanker Exxon Valdez spill
You both signed off on this pork so how can you defend your credibility as fiscally responsible and willing to stand up to your parties on pork spending?"
Boy I would have LOVED to see the faces on those two idiots, they both might have had a Palin moment!
