Senator John McCain responds to a question regarding spending earmarks in Washington at a town hall meeting hosted by BAE Systems in Nashua, NH on July 25.
I think its hilarious how McCain wants to focus his campaign on earmarks and pork barrel spending as a way to cure the financial crisis...earmarks make up a tiny portion of what we spend...WE ARE SPENDING 130+ BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR IN IRAQ!...McCain will keep this war going for YEARS...sinking more and more money into that country...Iraq is a major reason why we have seen so much wealth leave the U.S...Earmarks are barely an issue and McCain mentions them in every damn speech.
Oh, like the $25 million in earmarks that John McCain's vice president Sarah Palin rang up while being the mayor of a city with a population of 7,000? Interesting.
Earmarks are good because they:
-address miscellaneous items and projects that the general budget did not address
-can create jobs
and
-improve infastruce, agencies and many other items.
