Bailout? More like a buffet.

The New York Post points out some of the pork in the bailout bill passed by the Senate.
The special provisions include tax breaks for:
* Manufacturers of kids' wooden arrows - $6 million.
* Puerto Rican and Virgin Islands rum producers - $192 million.
* Wool research.
* Auto-racing tracks - $128 million.
* Corporations operating in American Samoa - $33 million.
* Small- to medium-budget film and television productions - $10 million.
It's not the politicans' fault.
It's our fault, the people that vote. We not not only allow this, but we insist upon it.
We reward politicians that bring home the bacon. Don't point the finger at Capitol Hill. Point it at yourself.
Republicans and Democrats give us what we ask for: Other people's money. If anyone thinks McCain is going to curtail the freebies at taxpayer expense, you are kidding yourself. The only defense Republicans have for McCain is that he isn't as bad as Obama.
And a broken nose isn't as bad as a broken jaw.
We have to get over the idea that we are only given two choices. The Constitution does not mandate a two party system. If you accept two bad choices, you facilitate the problem.
You are the problem.
Enjoy your free lunch.
