They Are Aware Voters Like “Free Stuff” And Hedged Their Bets They Could Buy Votes With Earmarks And Keep The House, Or At Least Cut Their Losses And That Is What They Did. Texas Senate Republican Ted Cruz Said, “Earmarks Are The Gateway Drug To Excess Spending.” Politicians Are Addicted To Spending To Buy Votes Once They Are In Office. Earmarks Give The Career Politicians Another Vehicle To Continue Their Free Ride On American Taxpayers. They Kick The Debt Can Down The Road Knowing The More Bones They Throw To Their Voters The Longer They’ll Remain In Office.
