stupid media

I am so sick and tired of the media still calling it the “$700 billion Bailout Bill”… cause guess what…. it is the $800+ BILLION BAILOUT BILL.

In order to get it passed… you know to save the country and the world from a financial meltdown… we had to pad it even more because our lawmakers refused to sign it unless their special interests were met. Just remember… you hired ‘em, I beg you to fire ‘em.

Some additions:

# $2 million tax benefit for makers of wooden arrows for children (uh….??)
# $100 million tax break to benefit auto racetrack owners (f*#king Nascar vote)
# $192 million in rebates on excise taxes for the Puerto Rican and Virgin Islands rum industry (I guess when it all hits the fan, we will need to be numb)
# $148 million in tax relief for U.S. wool fabric producers (WHAT?…)

HERE is a great clip from The Daily Show
