Sweetening the bailout

How come the bailout bill became palatable to so many elected representatives who weren’t in favor of it? Tax cuts, of course. We’ll help pay off this $700 billion bill by cutting taxes.

Taxpayers for Common Sense highlights some of the “sweeteners” here. Think wool. Think wooden arrows. Think motorsports.

    Sec. 211. Transportation fringe benefit to bicycle commuters

    Allows employers to provide a benefit to employees for costs associated with bicycle commuting, including purchase and repair of a bicycle, bicycle improvements, and bicycle storage. This provision was proposed in 2007 in the Senate by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and in the House by Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR). This provision is estimated to cost $10 million.
