Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Let the pork begin. Now instead of 700,000,000,000 the price tag to the taxpayer is over 800,000,000,000. From tax breaks for Exxon-Valdes litigants to money to toy makers for wooden arrows, the Senate bill is full of lard to grease the you know what, as it is shoved in the you know where, and as usual the tax payer is bending over. I have already e-mailed my reps and let them know that adding pork to an already inflated spending bill is crazy. I would rather see the irresponsible players in this debacle file chapter 11 and consolidate than see us bail them out. Bailout or rescue plan, they both smell like dead fish. I am only 5 years from retirement and stand to take a hit on my 401k but I would rather take the hit now than have to saddle my kids and future grandkids with this mess. I still say let the market run it's course. It will be painful for a while but IMO, throwing good money after bad is not the way to fix things. Capitalism has worked pretty well for us over the past 2 centuries and moving FURTHER toward socialism is not in the best interest of our country.

How about the cojones on these sponsors ? Adding pork to a government bailout bill. The names of these jackoffs should be posted on the front page of every newspaper in America. Truly brain dead.

Completely agree. Talk about arrogance.. the most scrutinized bill of recent history, and they think they could sneak in some pork is ridiculous. I hope this is brought-up next time all of them run for re-election.

ive not tried to look it up yet, but i can tell you alot of times when money is "earmarked" in committee, its done damn near anonomously. that comes from a couple sources dealing with money earmarked through past defense spending bills. im just guessing here, this is probably a similar situation.
this is why the problem is so rampant; money is always added and most times the guilty members arent identified. but, with this bill being so front and center to us all, maybe someone will talk.
