Democrats are following an order by the House Appropriations Committee chairman to keep the bills free of such earmarks until it is too late for critics to effectively challenge them.

The House-Senate compromise bills due for final action in September cannot be amended and are subject to only one hour of debate, precluding challenges to individual projects.

Rep. David Obey insists he is reluctantly taking the step because Appropriations Committee members and staff have not had enough time to fully review the 36,000 earmark requests that have flooded the committee
What Obey is doing runs counter to new rules that Democrats promised would make such spending decisions more open.

2.)How much more of this do WORKING americans have to put up with from Nancy P.?
