That's not necessarily uncommon is it? It was my understanding that bills get passed with extra funding for relatively disconnected causes all the time. They may have to credit the bill under which this was passed, but that doesn't necessarily reflect positively on the rest of the bill or the government's fiscal policy in general.

I point this out mostly so that I can be amused at how infuriating it is to Hacker News readers who can't help but be hypocrites that they love certain policies but continue to rail against the kind of government that brings about such policies.
