Democrats are accused of abusing earmarked funding to spend BILLIONS of tax dollars on 'woke' projects
2021-05-09
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] A decade-long ban on controversial earmarks - which allow funding for House members' personal projects - has just been overturned

  • Since then Democrats and Republicans have flooded the House with funding requests

  • Funding requests include $4million for a science center, $407K for Native American arthritis, $436K for a yoga retreat and $250k for the Michelle Obama library

  • Sen Pat Toomey said the projects were 'incredibly abusive', and used by Democrats to 'buy votes'

  • He cited the 'bridge to nowhere' as a previous example of a wasteful earmark spending project

  • Forbes reported 3309 requests had been proposed by 324 members of Congress

  • Democrats requested 2,338 earmarks for $4.94 billion, while Republicans requested 971 earmarks for $4.7 billion
