And Juan really needs to be exposed on this: How much earmarks typically are ($30 billion and less), how much the total budget is ($3 trillion plus), and name some really worthwhile earmark projects brought to Arizona, as well as condemning truly wasteful projects. It's all a tiny amount to receive so much attention. - A cheap applause line!
There is far more to be saved in Medicare/Medicaid fraud (a now about $60 billion annually) than in earmarks, but we hear little about it. Have provided links for that figure in the past.
It’s like a fat guy complaining about not getting a diet coke after consuming a huge bloated meal.
