San Diego Union Tribune today supported a ban on congressional earmarks. The SDUT noted that the new (Democratic) chairmen of the Senate and House appropriations committees STRIPPED ABOUT 10,000 EARMARKS FROM THE SPENDING BILLS THAT THE LAST (Republican) CONGRESS NEVER GOT AROUND TO PASSING. The SDUT also noted that Democrats and Republicans have often colluded in approving pork for each other's districts.
Write your representatives, the SDUT said. You got it, Bob Kittle. I wrote to DUNCAN HUNTER, DIANNE FEINSTEIN, BARBARA BOXER, and told them I want them to vote to end earmarks. I said our country cannot continue to be for sale, and still endure as a democracy.
Don't sell us out, I said.
