Republican pledged to reduce earmarking and House Republicans have really delivered. Taxpayers for Common Sense checked some major spending bill and found a 40% reduction.
The amount of earmarked money is down by roughly 40 percent in three 2011 appropriations bills in the House compared to last year’s bills...
The reason for this is a Republican self-imposed moratorium.
All but three of the 178 House GOP members have agreed to refrain from earmarking this year.
The Democrats promised to reduce earmarks too. Didn't they help? Well, not so much.
House Democrats have also reduced their earmarking — by about 4 percent — in the three bills that Taxpayers for Common Sense analyzed.
...and watch these republicans vote AGAINST these very earmarks they were for when it comes up to an up or down vote!!!!
