This is hilarious and sad at the same time. In a fit of bipartisanship, Congress has seen fit to take your tax dollars and spend it on subsidizing the production of rum and racetracks. I guess there are worse kinds of stimulus – I guess we’re lucky that they didn’t fund whorehouses and opium dens. It’s hard not to think of Congress as a band of pirates – and incompetent pirates at that. Shiver me timbers.
