Bailout Bill Laden With Pork

Quote:
But the Senate bill is also laden with pork, including:

* $223M for Alaskan fisherman
* $192M for rum producers in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands
* $128M for auto racing
* $33M for companies operating in American Samoa
* $10M for film & TV production
* $6M for producers of wooden arrows

Those 'earmarks' may not be palatable to many House members, especially those concerned about fiscal spending and/or getting reelected.
