About those earmarks
For Wednesday: President Bush threatens to veto any appropriation bill that doesn't cut earmarks in half -- like he asked Congress to do last year. Depends on the meaning of "half." While the earmarks found in 2007 bills number 11,000, slightly fewer than the 13,000 of 2006, the actual dollar amount was halved from $29 billion to $14 billion.
