Evan Dawson had a post yesterday on the illogic of pork barrel spending, where he makes the following good point:
The incongruity seems to come from those who argue that government
spends too much -- but then argue that their own Representative has a
duty to bring home fistfuls of cash. They don't seem to care to
inspect the validity of each earmark; it's good enough that their
Representative is bringing home something. $100k for library tags in Greece? Sure. $1 million for a private college that is in no financial trouble? Why not?
