Didn’t Get Enough on Earmarks?

We try to entertain while we confuse and inform, but sometimes we only manage to confuse and inform. These links aren’t entertaining, but maybe they’ll curb some of the confusion…

    Earmarking is bad Big Bro, but look up Corporate Welfare if you want to see the vein in Pete’s shiny dome throb.

    That’s where the government pays welfare out of our taxes to corporations, many of which are making record profits! I won’t ruin the surprise, go ahead and Google that one. You won’t be disappointed.

    Thanks Big Bro! Keep the fact info coming!
