I’d say it was pretty even as well. McCain needs to get off the earmarks. He’s making the public believe that is is going to solve the problems. Earmarks account for 1-3 percent of the budget.
It’s not like that money goes into someones matress. Most of it is used to built/improve infrastucture which employs people and supports local economies, which in turn generates state and federal tax revenue.
The problem is that mostly everyone that is in a position to bill the government inflates the cost outrageously, we all heard the $500 for a hammer stories as well as doctors ripping off medicare and hospitals charging a small fortune for an asprin. Dishonesty is the underlying problem.
Know anybody that can fix that?
