Earmark spending is a mere FRACTION of the budget.

Obama is schooling him now.

5. Earmarks are not always evil..
the metro system here in D.C. exists on earmarks. People love earmarks when they are in their districts, not so much in others.

3. Not to mention that cutting spending
is the primary reason the infrastructure of this country is failing . . .

roads (solution: privatize them) railways (solution: privatize them) bridges, police force, fire departments, etc.

McCain is a moran.

7. Cut spending! Cut spending! Cut spending!
