Hollywood would get a little unexpected boost from the proposed $700-billion bailout of the nation’s financial system.

The bill wending its way through Congress would provide tax breaks worth more than $470 million over the next decade for movie and TV producers that shoot in the U.S.

A tax break for NASCAR racetracks and other motor-sports facilities is among the “sweeteners” tucked inside a 450-page financial-services bailout bill to make the package more palatable to lawmakers.

The shock-doctrine peddlers are saying the world will end if the bailout isn’t passed. So you’d think that Congress would focus a little on fixing the financial crisis.

Instead, the Senate bailout bill includes issues of vital national importance such as :

Extension of economic development credit to American Samoa (p. 279)
Rum excise tax to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands (p. 279)
Motorsports racing track facility (p. 290)
Wool modifications (p. 295)
Children and wooden arrows (p. 300)

The list goes on and on . . .

It also includes plenty of unfunded mandates.
