Next Week, House and Senate Republicans Might Legalize Bribery
By: Erick Erickson | November 14th, 2014
Sources in both the House and Senate are expressing grave concern to me that Republicans are about to legalize bribery. If you will recall, several years ago after a host of arrests of members of Congress, indictments, and bridges to nowhere, public outrage caused Congress to ban earmarks.
The earmarks were serving as bribery. Politicians would get earmarks sent to state and local public institutions and congressional leaders would grant and withhold earmarks as bribes to get congressmen to vote particular ways.
Senate Republicans are dragging their feet and there are, according to Senate sources, strong signals the GOP intends to end the Senate earmarks ban. Just yesterday, Senate Republicans refused to approve the earmarks ban.
On the House side, Congressman Mike Rogers (R-AL) is introducing an amendment to House rules that would allow an exception to the earmarks ban for State, locality (including county and city governments), or a public utility or other public entity. A House source tells me Speaker Boehner has been firmly committed to keeping the earmarks ban, but worries other Republicans may latch on to Rogers exception.
It is worth noting that virtually all earmarks go to State[s], localit[ies] (including county and city governments), [and] public utilit[ies].
With Senators Tom Coburn and Jim DeMint out of the picture, the Senate seems more likely than the House to move forward on this issue, referred to earmarks at the gateway drug for big spending. The earmarks themselves were often relatively small, but they were given by leadership to members of Congress as a form of bribery to induce those members to vote for much larger spending packages.
It would be a shame for either the House or Senate to give up on the earmarks ban particularly when outrage over Republican behavior related, in part, to corruption induced through earmarks led to their devastating losses in 2006.
You can connect to your member of Congress through the congressional switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and express your support for continuing the earmarks ban.
If you believe there has been a ban on earmarks then you seriously do not know what is going on. Reid has been handing out money to his cronies and fellow senate criminals daily since the stimulus bill was passed. And, BTW, most of those funds were rife with fraud and theft by the very senators who took the money. Yet another reason your beloved Demwits lost last week. [quote=Don G.

As these political deceivers are nefariously clever, perhaps we can utilize their nefarious talents for productive purposes. If they can be able to pass any bills that scrutinize and correct any monetary inefficiencies; then a percentage of the cost savings would go into their State's, general fund, to help their State's Budget Debt Reduction. Their inside knowledge, coupled with their ability to identify, where the over-inflated costs detriMentally deplete the federal budget; are obvious. Changing this Dynamic, creates a win,win,win situation. The politician wins and gets recognition. Their State Budget wins and receives a monetary windfall. The Federal Budget wins as over-inflated spending diminishes. Let the nefariously clever, politicians competition, Begin!
Kindly remember the one term Solution: "Vote Incumbents OUT!" Thank You.
