hummm I thought I had posted already about getting rid of earmarks.
I am thoroughly confused.
Guess I just don't know how to express myself. So let me try again.
OUR NEXT ADMINISTRATION NEEDS TO GET RID OF ALL THE EARMARKS. Because God knows this one wont.
And to all Bush supporters that are NOT embarrassed yet......
On Tuesday, President Bush will issue an Executive Order directing Federal agencies to ignore any future earmark that is not voted on and included in a law approved by Congress. This will effectively end the common practice of concealing earmarks in so-called report language instead of placing them in the actual text of the bill. This means earmarks will be subject to votes, which will better expose them to the light of day and help constrain excessive and unjustified spending.
