Excuse me Congress, I'd like to report a suspicious charge on my tax bill...

All right this is an easy one. The DNC should be all over this like Gilligan on the Skipper.

From Reuters
The U.S. Congress on Saturday passed a $388 billion package financing government programs in this fiscal year after days of tough talks, but a last minute snag means it may not be sent to President Bush for signing into law for several days.

The Senate voted 65-30 for the legislation late on Saturday that sets aside funds for a range of priorities including a presidential yacht, foreign aid and energy. It is one of the final pieces of work for the 108th Congress and they may return to finish a spy agency overhaul before the end of the year.

A presidential yacht! The Repulicans cut financing for cruicial education, environment, and health programs while providing funds for the president to sail leisurely of off the coast of Kennebunkport. There is not reason why the Dems can't shout this to every sharp corner of every last red state. Docotrs can now refuse to treat patients without penalty, the global fight against AIDS will once again not be adequetely funded, nuclear waste will be dumped into the mountains of Nevada, and Pell grants will be cut.

And the president just bought himself a yacht and sent us the bill.
