Here Piggy, Piggy, Piggy

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO), controlled by the Democrats, in analyzing Obama's stimulus package says: 12 cent of every dollar will go toward the economic stimulus. Does this mean that 88 cents on the dollar DOES NOT GO to job stimulus? On December 7, 2008 then President-elect Obama said that: "all jobs created by the stimulus are 'shovel ready' jobs. The days of pork are over".
It doesn't take a genius to find out specifics on earmarks. AMTRAK is being promised $1 billion. That should pick things up. The railroad hasn't turned a profit in 40 years. The National Endowment for the Arts is to receive $50 million. I ask, how many different ways are there to put urine in a jar or construct a cow dung collage of the Blessed Virgin Mary? I leave you with this nugget. ACORN is listed in the stimulus plan to the tune of $4.1 million.
