Press coverage of the budget frenzy on Capitol Hill has suggested that pork-
barrel earmark spending is still a bipartisan problem, that after months of
self-righteous rhetoric about fiscal discipline, Republicans and Democrats
remain equal-opportunity earmarkers.
It's not true. A new analysis by a group of federal-spending watchdogs shows
a striking imbalance between the parties when it comes to earmark requests.
Democrats remain raging spenders, while Republicans have made enormous
strides in ... 阅读全帖

Members of the Congressional Tea Party Caucus may tout their commitment to
cutting government spending now, but they used the 111th Congress to request
hundreds of earmarks that, taken cumulatively, added more than $1 billion
to the federal budget.
According to a Hotline review of records compiled by Citizens Against
Government Waste, the 52 members of the caucus, which pledges to cut
spending and reduce the size of government, requested a total of 764
earmarks valued at $1,049,783,150 during Fi... 阅读全帖

联邦指定拨款(Earmark)是国会的一种金钱游戏:每个财政年度,各州的参议员运用
自己的影响力,为自己州的专用项目争取联邦拨款。这当中固然有造福桑梓的良好动机
,但是因为拨款由参议员在台面下私相授受,在某种程度上成为参议员为自己的支持者
捞钱的途径。前一阵阿拉斯加的“通向无人区的大桥”项目,就是联邦指定拨款闹出的
丑闻。
下面来看看老麦和教主在Earmark上的立场和表现-
教主-没有立场。2007年他拿了98million的earmark,其中一部分用于教主夫人任副总
裁的芝加哥大学医院的基建项目。另外,他还“碰巧”帮助Lobbist(游说人)Hunter
Biden - 副总统候选人Joe Biden的儿子,获得了另外一笔earmark。
老麦-反对Earmark,一直致力于推动立法以改革这一制度。他是参议院里拒绝参与
Earmark分肥的五位参议员之一。所以他获得的earmark是 $0

来自主题: WorldNews版 - 关于earmark
昨天看meet the press, senate schumer讲了几点,民主党过去两年做的改进,一个是
钱的总数比以前少了,另一个是现在要求earmark后面必须署上议员的名字(以前都不
署名)也把earmark project公开上网了。这样可以保证不会有bridge to nowhere的
project(这个project是在参众两院confrence最后一刻加进去的)。他又提了几点今
后的改革方向。一个是earmark总数不超过budget 1%,二是要讲那些request的earmark
也放上网,现在只放批准的。三是现在要提前把earmark放到网上给大家看。
他的意思完全没有earmark是不可能的。两党都不会答应的。这earmark也是议员给自己
选区做实事的机会。

我觉得大家把这个spread the wealth around 翻译成为劫富济贫是错误的。
如果仔细看看spread the wealth around, 这里面有三个地方空了出来:
1. 是谁来spread?
2. spread 的是谁的wealth?
3. wealth is spreaded around谁?
第一个问题, 显然是由他奥巴马来负责spread了。
第二个问题, 显然奥巴马不会spread他自己的wealth.
当然了, 如果愿意的话, 可以选择相信他是spread那些年收入超过250k的
有钱人的wealth. 不过我可以提醒一下, 他赞同对42k收入的人加税。所以呢
这个wealth是谁的wealth, 大家自己判断。
第三个问题, 这里,显然很多人第一的感觉, 就是这些wealth将被spreaded
