9000 Earmarks!

IT'S A LIE! The Omnibus Spending Bill does not contain 9000 earmarks!

I just completed a count of the earmarks and the amounts.

Yes, there are too many. Yes, it's a lot of money.

Would you believe 1546 earmarks? Too many but not nearly 9000.

Would you believe $700 million dollars? Too much but nowhere near the $400 billion being talked about by Ann Coulter.

Do you wanna check my facts? Not a problem. The Library of Congress has the complete listing of earmarks, who requested each one, the amount, the department and purpose.

The service is known as Thomas.

Just for those who want to know the truth. All others need not seek an education.

The educated already know this is not a President Obama requested stimulus bill. It's a budget bill for 2009, a Bush budget submitted in 2008. It's old business not new business. Without the bill, the Federal Government would have to close all its doors for lack of budget money.
