Earmarks at the very least should be posted with a summary for one whole week on the Internet before they are voted upon, so citizens can see what taxpayers are paying for.
Pork barrel spending has got to be gotten under control before any discussion on raising taxes and/or letting tax reductions from sunseting.
The secrecy and deceit of earmarks is unacceptable. Rep. Flake (R-AZ), in the last session, "leaked" some of the details of earmarks on the House floor as a primer for his legislation and suggested rule changes to change the way money is appropriated in the House.
STOP this feather bedding of incumbent re-election campaign coffers and be honest and frugal with ordinary citizen's tax dollars.
