The Majority Matters When It Comes to Earmarks

Relevance Score: 1.982    2014-01-15 14:35:14

Ending Spending and its community of supporters and activists worked hard in 2010 to convince Congress finally to abandon the wasteful practice of earmarking. When Republicans took control of the House in 2011, they promised to rein in out-of-control federal spending and change the way Congress spends taxpayer money. One important step in that process was banning earmarks.

Last week, I chronicled my search for President Obama's jobs bill. It took me more than two weeks, but I managed to track it down, finally, as a real and introduced bill on which Congress could take action. Except they couldn't. The problem last week was that the Government Printing ...

That's right. The first earmark ever requested was vetoed by President James Madison, who called the spending unconstitutional. Jim Cox writes: "The first known Member of Congress to write a bill specifically requesting an appropriation of funds for a specific project was Congressman John C.

Bipartisanship: A Four-Letter Word?

Relevance Score: 1.611    2013-12-11 16:46:01

"The 'Bipartisan Budget Act' reminds us why bipartisanship is sometimes a four-letter word. Bipartisanship in DC usually just means that the size of government is growing, and that appears to be true with this compromise as well. We would have preferred that the full amount of the sequester cuts had remained intact. But what do fiscal conservatives expect? Does anyone actually believe a bill negotiated by Paul Ryan and Jeff Sessions wouldn't be infinitely better than a Patty Murray-Paul Ryan bill? The way to fix that is simple -- we must put fiscal conservatives in charge of the Senate -- and the way to do that is obvious. First, stop attacking Senators who favor cutting spending, balancing the budget and repealing Obamacare. Second, go on the offense and take the battle to those Democratic Senators who consistently vote for higher taxes, more spending, and bigger government."
