They’re doing a good job of firing us up.
Just not the way they think...

This budget ‘omnibus’ bill is followed by ‘appropriation’ bills that have more specificity.

Bloomberg will, no doubt, put a size limit on the "Big Gulp" for NYC toddlers.

Carlos Danger would happily take charge of quality control.

“There’s over 1500 pages.”
And it refers to other laws and programs such that you’d have to be familiar with them to have any idea what’s going on.
It’s pathetic ‘particapatory democracy’.

May be that people with expertise in specific fields will find this post of use.

And in other news a further 50,000,000 has been given to show men how to take a leak! Goodness gracious whose pockets is this money really going to - some extension of Planned Parenthood maybe?

I’m certain of that. It’s a great post for referencing points. I really wish that I had the time but I don’t.

Well when it comes to politicians and teats they certainly know how to suckle off of them...

[ American mothers as a whole do not breast-feed their babies as much as health experts would like, but African-American moms have the lowest rates of all — by some measures, they are half as likely to nurse as whites and Hispanics.

The federal government, some hospitals and nonprofits are trying different strategies to close this nursing gap, though no one seems sure exactly why the disparity exists. ]

Hmmmmm, could it have something to do with welfare handing our cheap baby formula?

“...Planned Parenthood maybe?”

Very likely. Dems would feel PP deserved it for ‘the ones that got away’.
Other Dem workers and donors probably have their beaks in the money too.

“Mommy, I want to be a breastfeeding peer counselor when I grow up.”

“Hush, dear.”

According to this link, FEDERAL SUPPORT FOR BREASTFEEDING,

Women’s Preventive Services allows for low or no cost coverage of up to six counseling sessions by a qualified lactation expert.

SIX sessions???

Nope:
“SEC. 722. Notwithstanding any other provision of
law, a woman may breastfeed her child at any location
in a Federal building or on Federal property, if the woman
and her child are otherwise authorized to be present at
the location.”

And WTF is that clause doing in an omnibus budget bill?

First glance I thought the tile read “breastfeeding beer counselors”.

Thank you. To what account should we wire your $60 million?

A sunsidy for malic fermentation! Why not?

Heck, breastfeeding advisors to members of the House of Lords would make more sense than this.
