I'm with Jack on this one and I haven't even read the bill yet. What is hilarious is that people on here are complaining about too many horses screwing up their hunting spot and getting rid of the deer, and then they are complaining about the government doing something to try and decrease the horse population.

Now, I completely understand that there are too many horses, and the cheap way to get rid of the problem is to allow people to shoot them all. Now, after you kill a group of 100 horses, what do you do with the carcasses? Do you just leave them out there to rot for the vultures/buzzards, and for the bears and wolves? Next thing you know, you guys will be complaining that there are too many wolves and bear around and they are eating all the deer now because they ran out of dead horse carcasses. So, you will want to start shooting the bear and wolves. After they are all gone, you will be complaining that the proliferation of deer are causing way too many human fatalities in car crashes, but there will not be enough hunters out there to take care of the deer over population. Believe me, I know, because we have this problem in Maryland right now.

I am a conservative, and my father in-law watches some conservative show on Fox or some other channel every time he visits. Well, this one guy was going down the list of 100 top pork spending amounts, but he was going through it so quickly and not spending any time on any one of them. I had so many questions about them, and some didn't really seem that off the wall.

Honestly, I think way too many liberals and conservatives (i.e., Americans in general) get their political information from radio shows and TV shows where it is the hosts only goal to make sure that people remain tuned in. Imagine actually going through all the reasoning behind some of these spending bills. People would turn off the TV/radio because that is not what they want to hear. Conservatives want to hear how bad the current government is doing, and the liberals want to hear how good it is doing. Americans really do not want to read through proposed legislative bills, especially ones that are 1,000 pages long. Heck, our representatives don't even want to read through that much stuff.

If you dig deep enough, I'm sure there is plenty of money being spent on CRP and other things that we as hunters find to be great ideas, but the rest of America thinks is BS.
