Good News on Pork
This comes via Instapundit. Tom Cobern and Jim DeMint have put the breaks on a whole pile of pork. From over 12,000 to 2,600. The article is at the Club for Growth blog and while there aren’t dollar figures, it runs into the billions.
Denton (DeMint spokesman Wesley Denton) added that Congress passed 12,852 earmarks in the fiscal 2006 spending bills and that by preventing “an earmark-laden omnibus bill, Senate conservatives have effectively cut the number by 80 percent, down to 2,600 earmarks, according to Citizens Against Government Waste.”
Something to cheer about.
