Why did Democrat-led Congress broke a promise to slash pork spending and doled out $17.2 billion?


including $296 million in earmarks by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton 鈥?the top spender of the three presidential contenders.

Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles B. Rangel, New York Democrat, who requested the earmark; $460,752 for hops research related to beer making; $188,000 for the Lobster Institute in Maine; and $148,950 for the Montana Sheep Institute.

Sen. Barack Obama who ranked 28th and sent his home state of Illinois about $97 million in pork.

Top republicans include:
Thad Cochran of Mississippi with $892 million,
Ted Stevens of Alaska with $469 million
Richard C. Shelby of Alabama with $465 million.

Sen. John McCain of Arizona, as usual secured no pork projects

Why do dems talk about balancing the budget and on YA act as if Bush has spent us into oblivian? When the fact is that both sides are to blame.

What can we do to stop this money grab in Washington?

We stop earmarks and wasteful spending by voting out these people, whether Republican or Democrats and getting a law passed for Presidential Line Item Veto.

Why did George Bush and the GOP controlled Congress turn the biggest surplus in our nation's history into the biggest deficit in history in 2001-2002? Bet you don't have an answer for that one!

because they tried to pass an antipork bill but it was shot down by democrats and republicans

Just unforgivable in my opinion. What don't these Congress Politicians understand. NO PORK means NO PORK. Vote ALL these politicians OUT...............they have no idea what harm they are creating for this generation and future generations. Just sickening if you ask me.

Because they're corrupt. Vote them out is all we can do.

Nancy Pelosi has made a mockery of our Congress. They all need to go.

Addressing your blatant falsehood: the CAGW website lists totals for all years since they began tracking in 1991. The numbers ballooned in the mid-nineties, into double digit billions, and then exploded from 2000 through 2006 (remarkably when the "small Government" republicans had complete control) . When the Democrats took over again in 2006, pork was cut by more than half, back to mid-nineties levels
