detbuch: "Earmarks are not the problem in this bill."
There is only 20,000 earmarks, not a problem.  |

I have to laugh at some of the Dems and Gop that have submitted earmarks into a bill that has to be passed by Saturday. Now some of them are saying that they will not vote for the bill, they know that the bill will pass or government would not be able to run.
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:
