I guess all those ACORN workers need something to do in the election off seasons, eh? (PDF doc, page 37)

...For an additional amount for ‘‘Periodic Censuses and Programs’’, $1,000,000,000, to remain available until September 30, 2010

I'm going to update this post as I work my way through this thing page by page.

Page 37 -- $9,000,000,000 for expanding "broadband opportunities"

Page 47 -- $1,200,000,000 for NSF
Page 61 -- $2,000,000,000 for Army Corps of Engineers projects
Page 68 -- $1,400,000,000 for Colorado river dam fund

Woo, hoo, on page 97 we actually find something for the little guys -- $615,000,000 for SBA loans!!!

OMG I can't go on...MEGO. And I've been leaving out all the "little" "paltry" $200M "trinkets" like helping out fish farms pay for FishChow.
