Those in favor of bringing back earmarks believe it would bring more power to Congress and can serve as a tool to rein in the Biden administration. Some House Republicans who support using earmarks also believe they could serve as an incentive for House Republican leadership to whip Republicans into voting for the legislation.

And not one of them is an actual Republican
Blame the voters, they love pork.
Scallywags on both sides of the aisle have no regard for the hard-working taxpayer dollar.
And in another blockbuster revelation, the WHO has announced that multibillion dollar research has proved that every single person that drank or even touched H20 has or will die.

Includes:
Sen. Shelby (R-AL) $656,406,000
Sen. Inhofe (R-OK) $510,520,000
Sen. Murkowski (R-AK) $489,632,000
Sen. Hirono, Schatz (D-HI) $421,560,000

Sen. Cassidy (R-LA) $204,735,000
Sen. Collins, King (R-ME) $200,057,000
Bingo!
Surprised McConnell is not on the list, but I am sure he’s more the enabler then the recipient.
Public data on why RINOs are so difficult to dislodge. The voting public wants their turn at the taxpayer hog trough.
All are on my Most Loathsome Senatorsâ List.
All politicians suck. They all lie. And they all look out for themselves.
Nothing new here.
Wow, you could have seen that list of names from a mile away. Not surprised.
"Democrat politicians use money to get power; Republicans politicians use power to get money."
This lending credence to the term. SHOOT, Shovel, Shutup.
