Yes, it is true. Congress is talking and proposing that they should put earmarks on hold for now. For those who don't know what earmarks are they are in my view "legal bribes". Let me give you an example of an earmark in use.
President: Hey Congressman you going to vote for my bill?
Congressman: Well, but what is in it for me?
President: Well, what do you need?
Congressman: Hmmmm... well I need that (earmark) 500k bridge and (earmark)250k for outer space medical instruments
President: You got it my man!
Congressman: Ok I will vote Yes.
Now of course they are not going to say this out loud, but if you look in any bill you will see $$$ to this state for this and that. Now you say what is wrong about this? Well our dollar is backed by our gold we have, the more money we print out and no gold is backing it up that is a big problem. Also, when we don't have they money for the earmark, well we just put it on the US Tax Dollar Tab, which pisses off the people.
If you really look into it is a bribe. Someone bribes the congressman and when the people say " You voted for WHAT?!" the congressman will say, well look what I made. And so the people also get bribed.
If Congress does put pause, this is like the whole congress going to rehab, which is good. Then hopefully they will get rid of these stupid earmarks and we can dig us out of the debt hole.
