Earmarks or not, discretionary spending is just about where it has been since the '60s (as a percentage of GDP).

That's too much. We have at least $7 trillion in debt, unfunded mandates out the wazoo, social security and medicare staring into the abyss.

Did you bother checking the Congressional Budget Historical Data report?

However you feel about the spending and deficit, it is nothing out of the ordinary.

That is just a fact.
