"If the funds aren’t earmarked, the agencies can spend the money any way they see fit. That is, the executive branch, rather than Congress, will determine how the taxpayer’s money is spent. " This is why Dr. Paul earmarks, then turns around and votes against it (transparency)...hence more earmarks. That deserves a thumbs up.
Glenn Beck told his half yesterday but didn't bother telling Ron's half of the story. This is what makes Glenn so dangerous. Half and partial truths.
Like other complicated issues: business cycle, gold-backed currency, free-market, etc ear marks make general public confused - USA schools and universities do not teach those issues and media provides cursory talking points. Only people like Milton Friedman, Ron Paul and the like educate the public.
I still don't understand how it works.

So, basically, its "I get money for my own, it is what it is. Someone else's constituents get money, wasteful"
