“Earmarks are nothing but a cheap applause line for Juan McCain, and that needs to be well exposed in this campaign. And many earmarks enable very worthwhile projects to be done in communities that could never afford them on their own. People need to ask around and find out what earmarks have financed in their communities.”
They may be a cheap applause line, but they aint that cheap. You saying $30 billion is cheap? Opposing them is one way to reign in an out of control government. I oppose McLame for many other reasons though.
Yep, very cheap in a $3 trillion+ budget. And many earmarks are very beneficial. Entitlements are where the money is. I'm commented elsewhere.
Earmarks = a cheap applause line for disingenuous politicians. And only a few use it, like Juan McCain.
Hey, we agree.
