Tell that to his earmarks.
O no. Do not tell me that you are confused about the purpose of earmarks. Earmarks are not pork barrel spending but rather an accounting practice used to KEEP TRACK OF THE MONEY which is being spent. Are you then saying that we should not keep track of the spending the Congress engages in? The purpose of earmarks is to track how government spends money & just exactly where it goes. Dispensing with this practice is tantamount to saying that we should not know how much government spends & should be kept in the dark.
