The GOP should oppose McCain on this. It’s nothing but a cheap and easy play to try and score political points. Earmarks are about $35 billion of a $3.1 TRILLION dollar budget. If McCain wants to seriously address deficits and the national debt, he’ll have to address entitlements. This is just cheap politics. - What has he said about entitlements? Any news conferences coming up on that?
There are certainly wasteful projects that are funded as earmarks, but there are also many useful projects. Check around the area where you live and learn what might have been financed by earmarks.
Thanks for presenting the truth in such a concise manner.
