The Council for Citizens Against Government Waste has come out with its latest rankings on earmark spending by Washington politicians. Fox News reports on the findings but I'll slip in a few of the salient points right here:
John McCain: He received a 100% rating for his votes resisting earmarks in the Senate last year. He's currently at a lifetime score of 88%. That's high enough to earn McCain "hero” status to the CAGW, a nonpartisan, nonprofit group which keeps a keen eye on government spending.
Joseph Biden: Scored 0% last year. His overall score is 22%. Yes, Joe Biden loves to spend taxpayer money.
Barack Obama: He earned a 10% rating score last year. His lifetime score (yeah, he's only been there a short while) stands at 18%. Uh huh; he's a big spender too.
