An ePamphlet on Pork 'n Earmarks: What's Congress Serving the Public?

by Valerie Butler

Overview

In this ebook on Pork and Earmarks we discuss what earmarks are, how they are used and where you can find them. Earmarking federal funds in and of itself is a reasonable practice. The problem comes when earmarking is done out the sight of public scrutiny and for private interests that don't benefit the public as a whole.
