Congress Tries to Out-spend the President…Again
Ron Utt and Brian Riedl of The Heritage Foundation have a new paper out that examines the newest piece of pork in the US Senate. The paper details what, it appears, would be the largest earmark in history, as well as earmarks for other pet projects.
All of these projects are being added to the Senate version of a supplemental bill, one that is supposed to fund the war in Iraq and the rebuilding along the Gulf Coast. Guess how many of the new earmarks are related to the war and the rebuilding?
