What is funny (not haha funny but curious) is that the republicans that are whining loudest about earmarks actually have earmarks in the bill. Well, except for McCain. But 6 of the top 10 earmarks are republican earmarks. Almost half of the earmarks (in money) are from republicans. It's very disingenuous to whine and rant about something which you are guilty of, and make it seem like you are completely innocent. John Kyl, for instance, claims HIS earmarks aren't really earmarks. pffft

John Kyl is scum. But Phoenix and Scottsdale love his ass, because he does his best to make sure poor people suffer as much as possible, so he keeps going back to Washington.

But your point is valid: Both parties are fucking us over with this crap, and both parties are hypocritical as fuck about it.
