Pelosi Adds $30 Million To Stimulus Bill For Protecting Mouse In San Francisco
San Francisco liberal Nancy Pelosi is determined to bring home the bacon. She has made sure to include more than $30 million dollars for wetlands restoration and preserving the habitat of the allegedly endangered salt marsh harvest mouse in San Francisco.
Talk about a pet project. A tiny mouse with the longtime backing of a political giant may soon reap the benefits of the economic-stimulus package.
Lawmakers and administration officials divulged Wednesday that the $789 billion economic stimulus bill being finalized behind closed doors in Congress includes $30 million for wetlands restoration that the Obama administration intends to spend in the San Francisco Bay Area to protect, among other things, the endangered salt marsh harvest mouse.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi represents the city of San Francisco and has previously championed preserving the mouse’s habitat in the Bay Area.
Congress benefits from the fact that most Americans don’t pay attention to what’s going on in this country. They occasionally tune in to news and hear liberal garbage about the coming apocalypse if we don’t pass a $1 trillion dollar stimulus porkulus bill. It’s incredibly misleading when president Obama tells the public that this abomination of a bill contains “no earmarks.” Basically, the entire f*cking bill is an earmark. It’s a grab bag of every liberal project ever thought up in the last 40 years for states and the federal government.
Restoring wetlands and protecting a mouse that environmental extremists cry about is not stimulus and it’s not gonna help the economy. Everything liberals have ever dreamed of passing, but could never get the votes for has been thrown into this bill and called “stimulus.”
Every single republican should vote against this outrageous bill. Arlen Spector, Susan Collins, and any other republican who votes for this pig should be challenged in the next primary. I’m all in favor of bipartisanship, but this bill is a pig and it’s unthinkable for any republican (any real republican) to support it.
What the f*ck is going on in this country? Has everybody completely lost their f*cking mind?
