Maybe it's just "politics" to take advantage of a situation where legislative action is desperately needed to tack on other, extraneous items that are personal "favorites" of legislators or groups of legislators, knowing that the proposals won't pass on their own.

Our system is broken and needs to be fixed.

Again you post and ONLY use the name Republican in a negative manner. Why dont we wait and see until we begin to use the party system to critique.
You say REPORTED...by whom and when...who wants to attach earmarks ?

You make sense in general but have to add the party affliation always ! And that would be fine if you had some back up instead of "reported"
