Because the system allows it and almost demands it....
I can understand a postion that says we must reform the system - but while the system is still handing out $$$$ I am going to get my share.
Hey I don't think it is right that they are handing out $$$$ for my new deck - but if they are going to hand it out anyway - sh^t I am going to take it...but I may say it aint right!
..and are you saying that O/B are for earmarks and not reforming the system? where exactly do they stand?
