Senate Republican earmark ban

[doctorjj]

EArmarks aren't a bad thing. They can be bad, but they are not. No ban is necessary or wise.

No.. I'm saying money given to the defense department is being spent on defense purposes but being done so unwisely. For example:
Some money is being earmarked for planes the AF doesn't want, only because those planes are being made in that senators district.
Money is being wasted on things we don't need, while things we do need are going un-purchased.

The industrial military complex pulls the strings far too much. They have far too much control and that control needs to be returned to the correct people.

HELLO!!!! Is anyone listening???

I agree. Some are for good reasons. When you start handing them out for votes is when they turn bad.
