A decade ago when Republicans took control of Congress they banned ‘earmarks.’

Then Democrats retook control and put earmarks back.

Last election Republicans won but, back in power, want to keep earmarks.

At dusk, as shadows spread in the closing days of the Democratic Congress last year, hidden in a bill Democrats gave Congressman a $34,000 pay raise. It looks like Republicans mean to keep that too.

Meantime, the cost of groceries went up again last month. And Congress has gone into recess for two weeks.

Republican Politicians, Democrat Politicians, mock each other but, at the end of the day, they’re pretty much alike.
