Earwigs, Eeewwwwww!
Does absolute power corrupts absolutely? Surely it can't turn a conservative, someone who thinks government spends too much of our money, corrupt, can it? (ok, so I'm almost giggling too much right now to finish the sentence).
When Reagan (no hero of mine, but surely one of our resident Republicans) vetoed the spending bill of 1987 because 121 earmarks were in it.
Congress' most recent spending legislation has 13,998 earmarks (115 times more, btw) in it.
Does that mean that today's Congress is 115 times more corrupt than the 1987 Congress?
Ok, so I'm no math major, but this sounds about right to me.
