Cafferty said that the Dems have put a moratorium on earmarks
in spending pending the adoption of new ethics rules. After new ethics rules are in place, earmarks can then be submitted for consideration. A step in the right direction.

3. Pelosi stripped all earmarks from the budget bill
At least those will start from scratch. And they will take a lot of pork money and put it where it is needed.

4. Surely you must be joking - everyone knows that Dems 'tax and spend'
The GOP is supposed to be about fiscal conservatism, and we're supposed to be the ones running around spending money like it's going out of style. Don't you know your political stereotypes?
