Why the &^%# do spinach farmers, peanut storage facilities, and lawmakers who are looking for more office space in Washington, DC, need emergency MILITARY money for??!
Congress has added $20 billion in pork spending to the $105 billion military supplemental bill for DEFINITE non-military uses.
What, is there a new type of peanut-based ammunition that is under development for the military? Spinach for Popeye the United States Marine?
ALL non-military pork should be removed from this bill immediately, and those Congress people who did this should be ashamed of themselves.
Katrina relief, port security, Veterans Administration affairs, national disaster preparedness, avian flu preparation and other important national issues DO deserve to be discussed and financed, but NOT as part of this military bill. They should be discussed under their OWN bills and free of additional non-related pork.
OINK!! OINK!! OINK!!
