"About 6,400 "earmarks" for about $24 billion."

You'd prefer that $24 Billion of our Highway Trust Fund remain unspent?!

You're taxed at the gas pump whether Congress spends the money in that trust fund or not, you know. We've just gone two straight years with those taxes stacking up *outside* of our economy. Who benefits from that nonsense?

No. I prefer that it not be Pi$$ed away on crap. I would also prefer that funds spent on real highway programs not be subjected to the Davis-Bacon Act.

In case you are not aware, the funds in the "Highway Trust Fund" don't exist. They have been borrowed and spent just like the "funds" in the Social Security "Trust Fund".

Just more Public Debt. But it get the A$$holes votes, at your expense. Happy?
