Wow, thats an argument that I have never heard. It was a NPR article that was on the drudge report today. “Earmark-Free Stimulus Bill Lacks Spending Direction”
If there are no earmarks then congress isn’t responsible for the way the money is spent. “This wasn’t a very important decision” ” This is an emergency” Money will be spent badly if congress is not in control.
Wow That is an argument I have never heard. And I have been listening for 15 Years. Those statement blew me away.
My Gut reaction. Congress Earmarks are still bad because you couldn’t know how to spend the money. Whole founding fathers ideaolgy is distrust of the government. And I seen proof of that truth and the disasters of the fiscal policy of both Dems and Reps. I am actually glad the power is going local.
By the way the CBO says this bill will reduce GDP over the long term. Isn’t most of the spending in this bill long term. The only short term spending is welfare and tax cuts and about 5 billion in infrastructure.
Call your congressmen, all of them. No on this bill.
