"Spending restraint is why our base is not energized," he said. "I think it's very important that we send a signal to the American people we're going to stop the earmark pork-barrel spending." John McCain
In other words, he believes it's the spending; not the lack of revenue coming into the federal gov't that is the problem. On this....I am with him 100%.
The Dem Majority promised to end pork-barrel projects in order to win in 2006---and they have NOT fulfilled that promise. As president, I think McCain would by vetoing the bills.
