Earmarks should be illegal, How could this have passed? Thank you Sen.Rand Paul for pointing this out. Any one voting for this should be blacklisted, voted out and loose their citicenship!

The worst part of all of this is it is ALREADY against the law for them to do this... and nothing is done about it.
