Stimulus pork


Here are just a few of the earmarks included in Obama's stimulus bill that was passed by the Democrats in the House:

-More than $4 billion is earmarked for "neighborhood stabilization activities" money that will go to groups like ACORN, which worked closely with the Obama campaign, the same group accused of massive voter fraud.

-Almost half of the proposed spending will directly benefit the Service Employees International Union, federal, state, and municipal employee unions, or other Democratic-controlled unions, according to writer Ben Stein.

-$600 million goes for new cars for top government bureaucrats.

-Obama promised major infrastructure projects yet only 5 percent of all the money goes for this.

-$50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts.

-$75 million to fund anti-smoking programs.

-$650 million for the switch from analog television to digital.

-$335 million to help prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.

-$600 million for climate change research programs.
