For anyone who doesn't understand the logic of what Ron Paul does, here are his choices:
A) Earmark some projects and vote for the spending bill B) Earmark some projects and vote against the spending bill C) Don't earmark any projects and vote for the spending bill D) Don't earmark any projects and vote against the spending bill
He never does A or C (unlike almost every other member of congress). Dr. Paul does B. His critics assert that he should do D. If he did D, then other areas of the country would receive the taxpayers' money that he could have earmarked for his district. The people of his district would not only be forced to pay taxes to the federal government, but they would not get any of their money back. By doing B, he upholds his oath of office to vote against all unconstitutional spending and the people of his district at least get back some of the money that they're forced to pay to the federal government.
What Dr. Paul does is logical. He is trying to return control to congress as it deserves.
Well he loads the spending bills with the very earmarks he rails against. Then he votes "no" on them....lol.
