Taxpayers across the country are getting their first looks at what the Washington swamp is like in the new earmark era.
House conservatives even sent a letter to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees on March 10, 2021, saying, "Nothing epitomizes what's wrong with Washington more than pork-barrel spending in the form of congressional earmarks."
As earmarks pervade Washington again, the requests will continue to escalate in their absurdity.
It's not surprising that Democrats resurrected a tool loved by the Washington swamp.
President Joe Biden has been in Washington since America's first gas crisis in the 1970s, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been in Congress since the Reagan administration, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has been marinating in the swamp for four decades.
That's why it's more important than ever for earmarks to be permanently banned before they get totally out of control again.
We need to show the people that our leaders are committed to ending business as usual in Washington.
