$100B of the bailout bill goes into Bush's pocket

I found a trace of something disturbing in discussion of the bailout bill...that the initial bill had somewhere between $100B to a mere $1B going to Bush for "discretionary spending". Rather a wild variance in the numbers, and more recent articles have given no indication at all of whether the final bill struck out this little giveaway. Has there been mention anywhere regarding whether any of the money in the legislation that was passed goes directly to lining the lame duck's nest?

Our treasury has been the boooosh cabal's private piggy bank from the first moment they invaded the White House. This "crisis" was just a sign of the rats starting to jump ship. Many are seeing Gramps campaign faltering and couldn't wait until after the elections to do their fleecing, they needed to bail out, NOW.

Damn right a good bunch of the bail-out money will end up in the booooosh corporate welfare system...totally vanishing like the many billions to contractors and consultants and other benefactors. You better believe that Paulson will all but give his buddies at Goldman-Sachs all they want to "save the economy" they helped screw up in the first place. The only solice here is that this bailout is so huge it's gonna take a while for all that money to vanish...but be assured, by Jan 20th, it'll be all gone.

Apparently it passed like that. I wonder if Bush even knows how many zeroes that is?

Stealing/fleecing taxpayers.

or does Bush get to burn the receipts?

:evilgrin:
