[quote=Anonymous]People, these are what earmarks are, actually what they used to be. The bus grant program spends billions every year. Prior to ignorant public outrage, members of Congress would submit their requests to fund local projects. I say ignorant b/c these requests originate in the local communities and generally each entity pays 1/3. Local, state and federal. Have a look, starting on page 188: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CRPT-109hrpt307/pdf/CRPT-109hrpt307.pdf Now all of these decisions are made by bureurocrats inside the DOT. So now Congress has no say.... [/quote]
