Schumer thinks the American people don't care about pork

If Obama said there is no pork, then there is no pork. This isn't the Bush administration, people, this is the Obama administration. The lies are in the past, we have the truth in office now. Get used to it.
 
What a tool.

America is quickly being reminded why they should vote anything but (D).


This video is on Drudge now, he is going to get hammered.
 
Okay, to those who vote no, can you please tell us why Americans shouldn't care that there's wasteful spending in Obama's stimulus bill?
 
There is very little difference between these programs and those normally considered pork. All they've done here is paint the pig with a different color brush. Pork.. bailouts.. stimulus... they're all the same damn thing.

That is, it's out of control spending during a time when we should be doing anything but...

And let me just say to all the chattering class... that so much focuses on all those little tiny porky amendments... the American people really don't care. - Senator Chuck Schumer

Obama keeps saying there is no pork in this economic stimulus bill, which is it?

Will they please put there cloths back on... this is getting ugly.

Almost every Senator I've heard of agrees with the tax cuts and infrastructure part of the bill. So, if the rest really is not earmarks and pork then why don?t we cut this bill into three parts and vote on the tax cuts and infrastructure in two separate bills that should easily pass, then while that gets started we can argue about the rest of the spending. Perhaps it is because if it was not lumped into all the fear mongering of this stimulus package everyone would see it as earmarks and pork fat?

Hard to argue that kind of logic.

Americans probably should care. I voted no because I don't give a crap.
 
You guys lost - get over it.

The use of 'pork' in this debate has as much meaning as "Islamo-Fascist". Go cling to your guns or religion or something ...

All that remains is obstruction, distortion and personal attacks. Keep clinging to that.

You will continue to go as you did the last 2 Federal elections - backward.

Senator Charles E. Schumer
313 Hart Senate Building
Washington, D.C. 20510


one line letter:

Dear Senator Schumer:

I care about pork.

Sincerely,

(Name)


slap a stamp on it and send it off
 
if you want to go further into it you could have a paragraph about why pork is bad for new york, that as a 'donor' state (getting back just $0.79 on the dollar) new york is paying for the pork projects in new mexico, alaska, alabama, south carolina, etc. that as someone who doesn't care about pork, he is harming new yorkers, costing them in taxes and government benefits.

Bitterness indeed

I voted for Obama, you blindly partisan twit.

So, the only thing I have to be "bitter" about is yet another reminder that nothing is ever really going to "change," and that both parties are equally full of suck. The optimism, or "hope," that I had just one month ago, is completely gone... all of it.

If you didn't spend all of your time swallowing the big (D), maybe you'd realize that...

pork is subjective.. something may seem pork now, but actually benefit longer term... so far, i have not seen it.

things such as money to create hybrid engines for automobiles, technology development funds, state rescue funds, are not pork.

pork or not, we have to do something quick.. economy is drowning day by day.

JPMorgan and Wells Fargo, now the two largest US banks by market capitalisation, fell 9.8 per cent to $24.62, and 14.2 per cent to $16.35, respectively.

Bank of America dropped 19.3 per cent to $5.56, while Citigroupdropped 15.2 per cent to $3.35.

Regional banks ? key winners in the previous session ? suffered some of the heaviest losses. Insurers also did particularly badly, off 9.1 per cent overall on concerns of the need for fresh capital raising.

Standard & Poor?s and Fitch cut their credit ratings on Hartford Financial Services, which fell 13.2 per cent to $13.05.

Lincoln National fell 18.9 per cent to $14.42 after the group reported its first loss in six years and Moody?s warned it may cut its credit ratings.

The S&P 500 closed down 4.9 per cent at 827.16, paring the gains since President Obama?s inauguration day to just 2.7 per cent.

The benchmark index stands 4.8 per cent below its 50-day moving average and less than 10 cent away from an 11-year low hit last November. The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished 4.6 per cent weaker at 7,888.88 and the Nasdaq Composite Index 4.2 per cent lower at 1,524.73. The Vix, known as Wall Street?s fear gauge, leapt 6.9 per cent to 46.7.

Traders had remained reluctant to place bearish bets on banks before the administration unveiled its plans. But all 10 sectors were sharply in the red on Tuesday. Commodity stocks gave the market some support early in the session but finished sharply lower. The material and energy sectors finished off 4.5 per cent and 4.7 per cent, respectively.
