Earmarks 71 - Taxpayers 29
Considering the fuss about this, I think that the recent Senate failure to reign in earmarks is a real "in your face" moment for the American taxpayer...
At NorthStarWriters.com, Paul Ibrahim summarizes his thoughts:
"One can only hope that they will change even more and pledge that as president, they would not sign any bill that has earmarks in it, as McCain has. No candidate deserves a vote for president without pledging, at the very least, that American taxpayers will not have to sacrifice their mortgage payments in order to fund mule museums, bridges to nowhere or a new wing at Michelle Obama’s hospital."
