Earmarks or Earaches?


A recent column in the washing ton post (dated 11/29/2011) tells the story of Congress fighting over ending earmarks. These “ear marks”  are the items which have money budgeted for specific programs however there have been many winks of the eye on items that are not vital to overall health of the country, the people and our economy. It is worth the time to look this column up and understand what is happening. Earmarks are not the same as pork barrel funding.
