Earmarks-So What Did We Need A Stimulus Plan For

Our legislators passed the Porkulus Spendulous package which was full of money for projects in each state. Now that they finished that mission we are now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

The Senate and House passed thier biennial Omnibus(take the ride on the money bus) bill which is the traditional legislation packed with earmarks. Robert Casey was number 15 in the Senate with $27,169,750.00 of earmarks. Arlen Specter reeled in the number 17 spot with $25,320,000.00.

You can look up the entire database here at Taxpayers for Common Sense. Well, at least the taxpayers have it.
