I don’t agree with him on that issue, but earmarks make up an entire 1% of the budget. His argument is that the executive branch would be in charge of earmarks if Congress didn’t do it.
Man does he have you people hoodwinked.
You might want to re-think your disagreement. You do know that the "pork" money in question is already allocated in a federal budget that has been passed by both houses of congress (with a no vote from Dr. Paul), and has been signed into law by the president (or by obama if it's a recent spending bill).
The money IS going to be spent - either on what it was earmarked for, or it goes into a general fund (obama's stash).
The earmarks that Dr. Paul gets condemned here for are nothing but funding requests from his constituents that he passes on to a congressional budget committee.
