Just a sampling of the earmarks in the wildly misguided tax bill (source):
McConnell: 42 earmarks worth $86.1M
Cochran: 263 earmarks worth $522.2M
Wicker: 223 earmarks worth $415.4M
Murray: 184 earmarks worth $219.0M
Reid: 151 earmarks worth $180.3M
Inouye: 141 earmarks worth $325.0M
Landrieu: 114 earmarks worth $143.9M
Hutchison: 74 earmarks worth $135.9M
Cornyn: 51 earmarks worth $93.5M
Thune: 28 earmarks worth $38.5M
The figures are in red illustrate the venal hypocrisy of Republicans who have wasted the electorate's time railing against earmarks for short term political gain only to turn around and insert them. More to come on Thune and Cornyn.
