I certainly don't believe training is deemed as waste, therefore; should I too not be upset about what is going on?<BR/> <BR/>More importantly, why did the President sign the bill into law out of the public's view...? So much for transparency... He should be embarrassed ~! <BR/><BR/>$1.7 million for pig odor research in Iowa, $6.6 million for termite research in New Orleans, $1.7 million for a honeybee factory in Texas, , $951,000 for a sustainable Las Vegas, and $207,000for a tattoo removal program in Los Angeles –<BR/><BR/>There is examples of pork, but again under your justification it is only 1/2 billion dollars. You’re absolutely correct who the hell needs it, right! This continued spending spree will continue to plague the market and the economy, but again; what the hell it is ONLY 1% of the overall budget. Tell that to the 20 plus employees, dedicated long term employees that we have to release due the failing economy. And save me the whine about, he inherited it. So the Bush Administration was just as much at fault... This is here and now.

Two Senators from the opposite aisle who vehemently are committed to stop the insanity! I supported the President and in little over 50 days in office that support has all but collapsed. During the Presidential campaign, this President committed to go line by line to veto all earmarks and further declared that once and for all to ban all earmarks. Well, today’s signature of the pork riddled bill became law, which further means that you can now add this President to a very long list of Politicians that failed to fulfill a campaign promise. Yet, I now categorize him as a blatant liar! <BR/><BR/>There, I said it, I realize now that I will be excoriated by all of those continued supporters that truly believe this Administration has their best interest at hand. I commend all of you that continue to believe, however; the actions themselves speak loader than words.

Feingold.<BR/><BR/>There is a big difference between those two, however. Ryan is a Johnny-come-lately to fiscal responsibility. He had NO problem whatsoever supporting the Bush Administration for nearly eight years. Feingold (who has cast his share of pork-related spending votes) has long been critical of the current appropriations system.<BR/><BR/>This is just speculation, but it appears that Ryan is positioning himself for a run at statewide office (i.e. Kohl's seat) and is feverishly "branding" himself. If that is indeed the case, it's unfortunate that he's putting ambition ahead of the needs of the First District.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-9387364899747864702009-03-11T12:40:00.000-05:002009-03-11T12:40:00.000-05:00Ryan put himself in that position he has no one el...Ryan put himself in that position he has no one else to blame.
