re: #42 debutaunt

Is it OK to address the excesses of earmarks?

Yes, and BHO did. He’s suggested a lot of rules to limit them in new bills, but getting both sides to give up the pork is probably a bit hopeless. Some earmarks are good, it’s part of congress’s job to fund worthy projects for their constituents, but I’ll bet they fight the rules to reduce the pork from the worthy.
