(NaturalNews) As the United States of America stands on the verge of irrecoverable bankruptcy, U.S. Senators have decided to orchestrate a final "blowout" Spending Spree by dressing up the financial bailout plan with so much bloated pork that no lawmaker can resist its lure. The so-called "rescue plan" (renamed from "bailout plan" by Washington language police) has now ballooned into a 450-page overstuffed pork sandwich, featuring layer upon layer of outlandish expenditures tied to the bill like too must ballast on a sinking ship: • Tax breaks for NASCAR race tracks • Big handouts to Virgin Island rum makers • Yet more tax breaks for Hollywood film producers • Gifts to companies researching wool • Huge tax breaks for companies like Microsoft and GE ... and many other handouts yet to be discovered in its 450 pages of pork. What began as a financial bailout bill to save the future of America's economy has become a free-for-all financial blowout that will only accelerate its demise. What's astonishing here is that even on the verge of financial collapse, Washington lawmakers are incapable of coming to their senses. They offer the same solution to every problem: Spend more! "This is how Washington works,'' said Keith Ashdown, chief investigator at Taxpayers for Common Sense. "A big pot of pork is their recipe for final passage." A big pot of pork A big pot of pork, unfortunately, is exactly what Washington doesn't need right now. With the ...

Barack Obama is using his cash advantage to overwhelm John McCain on the airwaves, outpacing his opponent in nearly every battleground state according to the latest data from the Wisconsin Ad Project [PDF]. Moreover, Evan Tracy , head of TNS Media Intelligence/Campaign Media Analysis Group, indicated in a blog post last week that Obama is on pace to spend more money on ads in the final 25 days of the campaign than McCain's entire $85 million allotment of public campaign funds. (McCain is also getting help from the Republican National Committee, but the Obama camp still bests both combined in fundraising). Here are several spots that the Obama campaign has released in recent days: " Lose " (subscription) pounds McCain for resorting to a "smear" campaign at a time of national economic crisis. "It's clear: With no plan to fix our economy, smears are all McCain has left," an announcer declares. The ad responds specifically to two allegations from the McCain camp regarding Obama's ties to Chicago politics. As a picture of a Ramada Inn appears, the announcer insists that is the location where Obama launched his political career, not the living room of Weather Underground member William Ayers . In response to a spot (subscription) released by the Republican National Committee that calls Obama adviser William Daley the "heir to the Chicago machine," Obama's ad notes that Daley was "confirmed as commerce secretary and praised for his gre ...
