Earmark is where congressman get to pick where the money go to
Without the earmark, the executive branch aka Obama gets to decide where the money go to

That is what Krauthammer said last night. Kraut said that earmarks do not increase spending.

Yes. It is about Obama! That’ll trick the idiot Tea Partiers!

Except that earmarks come from a designated fund - for earmarks. Get rid of the fund and neither Congress nor the POTUS can spend the money.
