Capitol Hill lawmakers have returned to their old, frequently frowned-upon practice of inserting so-called “earmarks” into spending bills with such abandon for two-years and watchdog groups like Citizens Against Government Waste are arguing that earmarks should be be banned again.

They should be deemed “fearmarks” because the public should “off” a random politician every time it’s done…
NUKE DC!
Stand alone as written.
No earmarks or pork riding with the bill.
As written.
Combination bills should be outlawed as well. Page number limitations would be nice too.
They do this shit because the people allow them to do it, or more accurately, they count on the people not paying attention, and they are accommodated every time.
One idea, one bill, one vote, so we know where everyone stands. No more excuses, no more Christmas Tree spending bills, just a simple “yea or nay” on every single attempt at spending taxpayer dollars.
Has anyone here ever benefitted from an earmark?
Lying liars lying.
Anyone who runs against them should keep count and use it to pound them during reelection season.
The movie “Designated Survivor” needs to be fact not fiction.
