  • Irony: White House person in charge of asking GM CEO to resign was an investment banker. What now. Refinance GM under a sub prime mortgage? #
  • White House has power to fire GM CEO but not AIG or big bank execs? #

Earmarks aplenty in 2009 omnibus

March 5th, 2009

Quite frankly I didn’t know what an omnibus was until I looked it up in wikipedia.

Taxpayer.net, run by Taxpayers for Common Sense, reports that the Fiscal Year 2009 Omnibus has 8,570 earmarks worth $7.7 billion dollars. That’s a lot of loot. They offer an Excel spreadsheet of the earmarks. I am interested to see how many of the earmarks benefit Asian Conservative constituents, if any. Updates to this post will follow.

Update 1:

($142,500) Japanese Community Youth Council, San Francisco, CA for renovation of a youth development facility

($237,500) Japanese American Museum of San Jose in San Jose, CA for construction of a new museum

($476,000) Chinese Hospital, San Francisco, CA for facilities and equipment

($196,500) Pacific Asian Consortium in Employment, San Gabriel Valley Business Development and Revolving Micro Loan Fund for counseling and advising services

($245,643) Asian Pacific Islander Small Business Program
