New post on earmarks.
Holy shit-does anyone even understand politics? It's a system of patron-client ties. Why have a representative if they don't represent your interests? Most of the stuff is pretty benign that is considered 'earmarks'. The government spends a half trillion on war and that's okay (lockheed is really close to my house so I guess I benefit too) and when several million is located for socialist homosexual shit like libraries, art museum, park construction, public transportation etc. everyone throws a fit. It is quite funny.
