4% here 4% there and sooner or later we are talking real money

Kenneth, Eliminating earmarks is one step in the right direction to stop wasting taxpayer's money.

It's like McCain being in favor of drilling for oil & gas here in the U.S. It's not the only answer, but it is a large part of the solution of America becoming energy dependent.

Stop being an ignorant partisan blockhead all the time!

McCain pretends that earmarks are important when they are only 4% of the deficit

But every little bit helps - think of the children.

Kenneth, I appreciate that this is not your area of knowledge whatsoever, but 4% of the total budget is a tremendous amount of money and must be addressed.
