I don't like earmarks either, but this is a shell game, and focusing on earmarks is picking the wrong shell. The real issue is that it's a FULL one year budget at the grossly expanded 2010 levels. Obama took a big bite out of the economy for government over the past two years, and this resolution keeps it at that expanded level, which is maybe $200 Billion above where it ought to be.
We'd be better off with a one month budget continuation, a tax rate compromise, and a new budget in the next session at more reasonable levels.
I think we’d be better off calling the whole thing off and then making the first item of business the passing of an extension of the Bush tax rates, sans TARP II.
