    The president has no power to “revive earmarks”; it’s up to Congress. Earmarks are used to buy off votes for “deals” that harm the American people. My colleagues need to say no to this cronyism.https://twitter.com/dailysignal/status/953308932642103299 …

        Let's be honest, the whole drain the swamp thing was a partisan sham.

        Earmark cronyism, no. Take a million bucks from Club for Growth cronyism, yes.

        You would rather unelected bureaucrats decide where the funds are allocated than an elected member of Congress?

        It’s also up to Congress, this Republican-majority Congress, to do something about the complicit puppet who sits in the President’s office. And you and your GOP colleagues cover your eyes and ears and do nothing. Your children will be ashamed of all of you. #Shameful

        "Drain the Swamp" is just another political catch phrase to fool the weak-minded. How does one do this while Trump is plugging up the drain?

        The whole "drain the swamp" thing is a crock--this is probably the most corrupt president and administration ever. When are your fellow GOP's going to quit looking the other way?

        Earmarks grease government cogs; making spending increases, surveillance and other legislative attacks on freedom easier.

        At their peak, did earmarks ever approach 0.1% of the Federal budget? Maybe 0.01%?

        Earmarks give individual legislators incentive to negotiate and reduce the influence of political parties and what have become 'factions'.
