I think that we may be missing a very important factor in the influences upon our elected officials. Monetary policies are overseen and dictated by a private international banking oversight entity in this country, (THE FEDERAL RESERVE)they wield the true power,(the power to print money)having stated that, you must ask yourselves,are elected officials (so called lawmakers the ones who are creating budgetary spending policies) motivated by what will be a responsible, well advised, proactive, patriotic,and discretionary spending bill? That statement unfortunately is almost laughable. Our illegally collected income-labor tax monies are being squandered to facilitate the procurement and enrichment of private entities (military industrial complex, Haliburton, blackwater,black ops, oil companies and perhaps and much more)the ones who cause us to pay, and may have an incentive to make us pay interest on the governments borrowed monies are international bankers, or in the old days the monarchies, call me a conspiracy theorist I don't really care, what I do care about is my children's future. Do the research yourselves go to you tube and search Aaron Russo a close personal friend of the richest bankers in history, the Rockefeller s, check out what the late Russo has to say and go from there.

God Bless Mark B

[...] very sure to stuff that budget as full of pork and voter bribes as they possibly can. This year, as I wrote not very long ago, every single member of Congress will control $5,794,392,523.36. That’s the part that’s [...]

Getting rid of earmarks is definitely a good idea, Lori. It's just a very small drop in a very big bucket. Perhaps if we can get rid of earmarks, we might be able to slowly push Washington back to what it should be. It'll take time, though. And we should be fully aware of just how big the job will be.

Great info. I'm one of the guilty ones whose been worrying about those earmarks. (I guess $3 trillion dollars is just hard to wrap my brain around.)

Even though I won't vote for McCain, I actually felt like it was a step in a positive direction when he said he'd veto earmarks. Of course, he looked like a hero to folks who happen to be looking for one…

….and I wish all those people would read this!
