So has Congressman Paul explain his hypocrisy on Earmarks yet?

How many times are you going to ask the same question, which has been answered over and over, without bothering to address the substance of the answer?

Here you go again.

Now, will you explain why you believe that Congress should just appropriate our money and hand it over to unelected bureaucrats who cannot be fired without directing how it should be spent?

Wow someone using a Lew Rockwell as source... That is accurate information..

“Because earmarks are funded from spending levels that have been determined before a single earmark is agreed to, with or without earmarks the spending levels remain the same.”

BS! The maximum spending levels are determined by the Authorization Committees. Actual spending levels are determined by the Authorization Committees who take the spending requested by the Federal Agencies and add the spending requested by members of Congress (earmarks). Eliminate the earmarks and you reduce actual spending.

“Now, will you explain why you believe that Congress should just appropriate our money and hand it over to unelected bureaucrats who cannot be fired without directing how it should be spent?”

Perhaps you might wish to explain why you believe members of Congress should just appropriate our money to bribe voters to vote for them or others to donate campaign funds to them which is eactly what an earmark is?
