Trump, GOP To NUKE Reps Who Voted For Biden's Bill
newtboyDerp.
Here’s your class for the day, Bobby.
To start with, >1/2 goes to preexisting transportation spending…and you just accounted for the rest…..wrongly. New transportation funding accounts for +-$280 billion. +-$240 billion for water, electric, broadband, and resilience.
Only one category grew in the final bill, cleaning up mines and superfund sites, now $20 billion. Funny how everyone can agree to spend tax dollars to clean up after corporate pollution instead of asking the polluters to pay.
100% of funding for schools, housing, home health care, r&d and manufacturing, and clean energy tax credits….gone. Not a penny left in the final bill.

Better go back to math class, the bill is $1.2 trillion….$540 billion is almost 1/2, not 1/4, not 24%….the rest is funding pre existing costs like road and bridge maintenance. Duh. Don’t you ever get tired of being so wrong so often?
Infrastructure improvement of bridges, highways, roads, ports, waterways, and airports—accounts for only $157 billion, or 7%, of the plan’s estimated cost. The definition of infrastructure can reasonably be expanded to include upgrading wastewater and drinking water systems, expanding high-speed broadband Internet service to 100% of the nation, modernizing the electric grid, and improving infrastructure resilience. That brings the total to $518 billion, or 24% of the plan’s total cost.
The rest mostly for buying votes via pork.

drradonthis guy is looking to have his very own superfund site. have to wonder how he manages to "clean up" and what he does with the waste products...
Monsanto (Blog Entry by jwray)
StormsingerThe IP issues are less of a problem in my view than the revolving door employment cycle between Monsanto and the FDA, and the whole rBGH debacle. So many of the FDA people were Monsanto sleepers, including the FDA deputy commissioner of policy (who wrote the labeling policies that forbid labels from distinguishing milk that has rBGH from milk that does not), the deputy director of the FDA's Office of New Animal Drugs, and at least one primary reviewer in that same office all worked on rBGH strategies for Monsanto before moving to the FDA. Can we even pretend to be surprised that it was approved? And that we're virtually the -only- first world country that allows its use?
The 50+ superfund sites they're responsible for don't make me any fonder of them.
Even after nearly 15 months of unemployment, I refused to consider working for them (which also pisses me off, given that they're constantly posting job listings that could be custom-written for my experience). My soul and my integrity are worth more than any amount of money they would pay.
