Rep. Lauren Boebert: Pelosi, Schumer serving up pork – here's how they plan to fund their liberal wish list

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., are quietly pushing a campaign to reinstate earmarks so they can fund liberal pet projects and buy votes with your tax dollars.

While America is nearly $30 trillion in debt, our economy is reeling from government-mandated lockdowns and President Biden’s job-killing executive orders, and millions of Americans are out of work, Democrats’ insistence on the return of such corrupt, self-serving legislating is the latest example of how Democrats view "leadership" – putting the pocketbooks of D.C. politicians, Wall Street, and special-interest groups over the health and well-being of hardworking Americans. The American people are tired of the D.C. way. Bipartisan reformers have long recognized that earmarks make way for corruption. That is why Congress enacted a formal ban roughly a decade ago. It is worth asking, after a decade, why the push to reinstate earmarks now?
