Pelosi hypocritical on earmarks
Nancy Pelosi has made an about-face on earmarks.
In 2006, right after winning back Congress, Pelosi said of Republican earmarks: "Personally, myself, I'd get rid of all of them."
NOW, she says that they're "wonderful investments in infrastructure and the education of our children."
This happens to every politician- praise something one day and decry it the next. But I think that Pelosi and the Democrats really have an obligation to let the American people know where and how their money is being spent. Those Congressional Democrats need to work with Republicans like Jeff Flake, who are working hard to get rid of earmarks.
