I think we all agree that "earmarks" ain't the problem here... And for the record they represent less than 1% of the federal budget...
And I don't have any problem with NASCAR gettin' $40M... Or some snail darter study in Utah getting as half a mill...
The problem I have is the hypocrisy of politicians using earmarks as their whippin' boy... Geeze, those _____________ (fill in any party) got all those earmarks and therefore plunged the country into ruin... That is bullshit...
Get a new whippin' boy, will ya'll... Like the DoD...
