Democrats give the finger to voters who repudiated their agenda in the November elections.

One the heels of a $900 billion dollar pork stuffed stimulus bill, sold as a tax compromise, Dems give the voters a final slap in the face by dropping this 2000 page monstrosity on the floor with only 3 days to review it before bringing it up for a vote. This is the exact tactic they used last December to cram the 2000+ page health insurance industry takeover down the throats of the American people.

Here are a few porky highlights founding in this massive spending bill.

The $1.2 trillion bill, released on Tuesday, includes more than 6,000 earmarks totaling $8 billion, an amount that many lawmakers decried as an irresponsible binge following a midterm election in which many voters demanded that the government cut spending. link
