Earmarked spending may well have merit. HOWEVER, there is already an appropriations process in place. Earmarks are the opaque, anonymous add-ons used for buying votes, and generally bringing home the bacon. Translation -- US taxpayer funding for projects beyond the scope of the US Constitution, projects which if needed should be funded entirely by local and state dollars. MM nailed it with the entitlement mentality. When did the feds start spoon feeding the states, both dollars and agenda? Was it the interstate system? HUD? HE&W? If ever there was time for needed change, that time is now. And, for Cantor, with his senior role in opposition leadership, to declare economic business as usual when that business as usual brought us to, and perhaps over, the edge, is traitorious.
