Are you saying you don't believe the money was actually spent on these projects?

Mo, doing a tiny bit of research, it looks more like she has earmarks in 2008 spending, and I don't believe these budgets have passed into law yet. Not saying they won't be, but that's the impression I get from a quick google search.
and to my point, a few bloggers said they approve of her defense spending earmarks and wondered why they weren't in the open as they seemed entirely appropriate.
I want to see what Congress is spending our money on. If I agree with my legislator's spending, earmarks or not, I can make a better decision when I vote.
