I don't think it is a very good deal at all. What are they going to get for that? I think that is part of the question here. What exactly are they going to get for that? Are they going to get some of the spending like we just saw passed in the bill last week, you know, maybe some things to help shrimp and peanuts and a few things like that? Is that the sort of stuff they are going to get? Are they going to get a bunch of earmarks? What are they going to get? I don't think they are going to get very much.
