Ingineers Ramblings

President Obama said that he would end or severely curtail earmarks from Congress in the Federal Budget process.  Well the "Pig Book" is out on Pork Barrel Spending in the new budget and it is up 15% from last year.  So much for another one of Barack's promises.  Kind of like him saying no lobbyists in the White House and then he appoints some to his staff.  He could have vetoed the budget and sent it back to Congress to clean up, but instead he chose to push it through and then complain about it.  I guess the buck does not stop with this president.  It gets passed.
