as expected, approved the porkiest of pork packages, 244-188.Just how does all that politically correct, liberal junk that’s in the bill create jobs and get people off the unemployment line?

- $600 million for new cars for the federal government

- $2.4 billion for carbon-capture demonstration projects
- $1 billion for Amtrak
- $50 million for the National Endowment of the Arts
- $44 million for repairs to U.S. Department of Agriculture headquarters
- $400 million for global-warming research

Amtrak?
New wheels for G-men?
