John McCain expressed outrage over earmarks in the bill he signed Wednesday night, saying “It’s insanity, and it’s obscenity because it’s a waste of taxpayers’ dollars, and it goes on. And until we stop it, until we get, frankly, a president who will say I’m going to veto those bills…”
Just a few days ago McCain said, “It’s completely unacceptable for any kind of earmarks to be included in this bill. It would be outrageous for legislatorsw and lobbyists to pack this rescue plan with taxpayer money for favored companies. This simply cannot happen.”
