House Republicans vote to support earmarks
By Juliegrace Brufke - 03/17/21 11:27 AM EDT

House Republicans passed a resolution during their conference meeting on Wednesday in support of restoring earmarks.

The House GOP's 102-84 vote comes as Democrats gear up to revive the practice, which allows members to secure federal funding for specific projects.

Republicans in the lower chamber stopped the practice in 2011, citing a number of controversies stemming from earmarks including the so-called "Bridge to Nowhere" and the Jack Abramoff scandal.


The effort to support their restoration with a number of reforms -- including a requirement that they must be publicly disclosed with written justification and members can-t have a financial interest -- was led by Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.).

Before 2011, Congress used to debate and pass legislation.

You would think that with so many of them having fingernail scratches behind their ears,they wouldn't want to get close to anything having to do with publicizing "ear marks".

As no real Conservative exists to challenge democrats in anything, the default government is total government power of democrats abusing that power, with a little assistance of a few corrupted Republicans.  Dolts still can't figure out, with
Trump defeated the Democrats run wild and unrestrained.  They did it, they see it, and swear they cannot understand it, their own handiwork.  How can fools be convinced to quit being easily lead astray fools? ? ?
