While there is no excusing the republican abuse, the democrats taking 60% of pork in this bill show once again their BS. This is just the start.
The House last week approved about $8 billion in earmarks as part of
the 2008 defense authorization bill, with the wealth shared by both
Democrats and Republicans.
Given their majority, however, Democrats claimed close to 60 percent of the bill’s earmarks.
Because of new House rules, for the first time the earmarks have
been disclosed as part of the bill’s report. The current list of
earmarks includes the budget account, the project description, the
intended recipient and beneficiary as well as the name of the
requesting member. This year, the House approved a $504 billion defense
authorization bill.
Given their majority, however, Democrats claimed close to 60 percent of the bill’s earmarks.
