According to Taxpayers for Common Sense, a watchdog group these Republicans are leading the Pork Harvest of 2009: - Congressman Ron Paul has 20 earmarks (just short of $74 million) in the bill.
- Congressman Don Young from Alaska has 27 earmarks (over $71 million) in the bill.
- Senator Thad Cochran has 204 earmarks, for a grand total of $470 million, in the bill.
- Senator Roger Wicker comes in at $390 million
- Senator David Vitter comes in at $249 million
- Senator Kit Bond comes in at over 248 million
That's right Ron Paul, who doesn't think we should spend money on the War on Terror, leads the way with some $74 million ... talk about doublespeak
