The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

I must be in a really pissy mood today because everything I see is annoying the hell out of me.

In a recently passed bill - the Energy and Tax Extenders Act of 2008 - there was a 1.6 billion dollar earmark for plaintiffs' lawyers. Trial lawyers running class action suits are struggling middle class people that deserve tax breaks?

I don't mind tax breaks for anyone, really.....just get off this demagoguery (sp?) of tax breaks for the rich, Pelosi. Pelosi called the bill a tax cut for millions of middle income families. I think it went a bit beyond that.
