<DIV>In spite of the fact that the <EM>Emergency Economic Stabilization Act
of 2008,</EM> has passed, certain indignant Congress members, in the name
of good financial management, are recommending cuts in these "pork" bills
added to the bailout. This is because the economy is going into hard times (they
still won't call it a recession) and something must be done to help
offset all this deficit spending. </DIV>
<DIV>One NPR (Marketplace) announcer called the RE tax credit a "Christmas
ornament". The counterpoint was that much of the "pork" was tax credits
that were going to benefit "main street" and not "wall street". </DIV>
<DIV>Mama used to tell me, "don't count your chickens before they're
hatched".</DIV>
