Two separate tax breaks for film companies that produce movies in the U.S.: the cost, almost $500 million. - An extension of tax rebates to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands on rum duties: Another $192 million over 10 years.
- Six pages of earmarks to benefit Alaskan fishermen who were victims of the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster. That break, worth $239 million, is clearly aimed at winning the vote of U.S. Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska), who voted against the bailout package last week.
- A $10 million credit to help employers defray the costs of storing the bicycles of their employees who commute to work!

i wish that all of the bailout threads were put together as they are scattered in finance, politics, and states. this is the most important issue facing americans today and we are about to be sold out by the elected representatives! i sure hope the blue dog democrats and the republicans can stop this bill and be heroes to the american people again. i sincerely believe that our next president will come from one of these members who stood up and did the right thing!!!
