And here is why many of don't trust Congress:
Senators quietly tucked in several earmarks into the package, including a $2 million tax benefit to people who make wooden arrows for children and $192 million in rebates on excise taxes for the Puerto Rican and Virgin Islands rum industry. -Christianity Today
Yes, we are desperately in trouble and the American taxpayers are having to shoulder the stupidity of government programs, uh, I mean Wall Street greed, but hey, I'm sure the voters who elected us really want to make certain the wooden arrow industry doesn't dry up. And that they get their rum.
