this railing against earmarks on the republican side is STUPID. Its not earmark thats the problem. Its the massive spending. All earmarking does, it put specific amount of money into specific projects. Non-earmark spending gives the executive branch free reign in spending
its the non-earmark spending thats the PROBLEM. If you take out all earmark spending, its but 1%. Why do you ignore the 99% non-earmark spending?
