Q:We’re paying for a tax break for wooden arrows?  How is that helping anyone?

A: Yes, there really is a provision to give a $6 million credit to manufacturers of wooden arrows, a sector that has been keeping all of us up at night, worrying. Seriously though, this bill is laden with PORK. It’s business as usual in Washington, and the bill includes millions for auto racing tracks, small- to medium-sized film producers, corporations in American Samoa, rum producers in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands and fishermen and others who suffered from the Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989.
