On Bows and Arrows for Nobody
Question: what Oregon Congress-critter changed their vote based on the $2 million toy arrow tax break, something which has become something of a national joke?
Apparently it was aimed at Peter Defazio, but that does not make too much sense — he became something of the erstwhile leader of the Liberal wing of the great fringe-conservative / fringe-liberal / Squishy embattled Center coalition against the Bailout Bill, and was not going to vote for the thing.
The tax break thus becomes something even more worrisome than a usual pork barrel attachment:Â it greased the wheels to allow passage of the bill, but greased it for nobody.
