Why would they not just pull their earmarks out of the bill?  |
Check this one out:
They "incorrectly" added Scott Brown's name to an earmark. He saw it and had them remove it. These "earmarks" are out of control. It doesn't get any more "self-interest" than this. Who wrote this 1,924 page bill? How long did it take? How can they actually read 1,924 pages of garbage in such a short period of time? I wonder how many pages this bill would be if all the earmarks were removed. Check it out:
