Report: Proposed Omnibus Funding Bill Has Over 7,500 Earmarks Totaling $16 Billion

NATIONAL FILE-

Key lawmakers indicated on Tuesday that an Omnibus framework is agreed upon and in place. According to Bloomberg Government, the new agreement contains over 7,500 earmarks totaling $16 billion in 2023 appropriations bills that could be included in the final Omnibus bill. A number of House Freedom Caucus members have called for the upcoming Republican-led House to ban the controversial practice of earmarking, though the McCarthy-led GOP caucus voted to keep earmarks during a conference vote earlier this year.

Earmarks are spending provisions that lawmakers often attack to bills that are likely to pass. The practice has long generated controversy, with critics arguing that it encourages corruption and fiscal mismanagement by allowing lawmakers to add “pork” into bills. MORE

    Babylon or the Fourth Reich (as Schwab called it) is almost here and only 1% of the world will have nice things.
