After our cowardly King Obama signed the pork-filled $410 billion spending bill behind closed doors (only to emerge and say, “From now on, we’ll try to be more responsible with earmarks. But not now. After this pork-fest.”) — Don Surber has this interesting observation:
Democratic Sen. Robert C. Byrd led the Senate in earmarks in today’s Ominous Spending Bill. All those years and all those earmarks have helped West Virginia become what she is today.
The second poorest state in the nation.
Because government spending is not the solution. The creation of jobs and wealth by the private sector is the solution.
And all that pork in West Virginia did nothing more than build a monument to one of the most vile and corrupt men who has ever served in Congress…but did nothing to actually help the fools who repeatedly vote him back into office.

I saw where Ron Paul is covered in lard on this bill.
