One man's pork, another man's gravy

Froma Harrop has written a good column about earmarks that reinforces my own thinking on the subject. A lot of people who piss and moan about pork and earmarks are really just chapped off about federal spending on projects that benefit someone else or that they don't agree with. If all earmarks are abolished, there's a good chance voters will be reminded of an old saying: Be careful what you wish for because you may get it.
