They haven't even signed it yet and the pigs are already at the trough!
by Decius at 1:41 am EDT, Oct 2, 2008

If you think that Congress is having a tough time nailing down the terms of a $700-billion bailout because of high-minded concerns about fairness, proper use of taxpayer funds or regulatory oversight, think again.

So, for example, Rose City Archery, an Oregon company that makes bows and arrows for kids, might be the beneficiary of a provision inserted by Oregon senators Ron Wyden and Gordon Smith to end a 39-cent excise tax on wooden arrows.

If you're worried that the whole bailout might be a big scam, well, this certainly doesn't help.
