Democrats Hide 36,000 Earmarks aka “Pork”
Apparently the Democrats don’t want you to know what they are going to spend on “Pork” projects. According to the Associated Press article, Democrats Hide Pet Projects From Voters “Democrats are following an order by the House Appropriations Committee chairman to keep the bills free of such earmarks until it is too late for critics to effectively challenge them.” It goes on to say that, “Appropriations Committee members and staff have not had enough time to fully review the 36,000 earmark requests that have flooded the committee.” To me, it sounds like there are so many requests for pet projects the majority just goes along with them without question.
It’s business as usual in Washington DC. Billions after billions of our money being used by politicians to buy votes and stay elected. It never ends.
