| And the big spenders are.... | ||||||||||||||||
| Let's start with the Presidential candidates: Senator Hillary Clinton has her name on 281 earmarks that include $390,000 for Jazz music at Lincoln Center in New York. Senator Obama has his name on 52 earmarks that include $1.6 million for Shedd Aquarium in Chicago. John McCain requested NO earmarks this year. New York's Charles Rangel got $1.9 million for the Charles Rangel Center for Public Service at New York City College. West Virginias James Clyburn got $3 million for the "First Tee" program. You guessed it. Teaching kids to golf. Maine Senators Olympia Snow and Susan Collins got $188,000 for the Main Lobster Institute. Our old pal and former KKK member Senator Robert Byrd (Democrat) got $123,000 for a Mothers Day shrine in Grafton, WV. Never heard of it? That's because their total population is just over 5000 people. If you want to have your blood pressure soar you can see the entire list (and more) at the Citizen's Against Government Waste website.
