Christine O`Donnell on Budget & Economy

Pledges to vote against all earmarks & pork barrel spending

My Deal With Delaware is that I pledge I will never vote for "pork barrel spending" or corrupt "earmark favors." These terms refer to the practice of slipping favors for special interest groups into the final stages of spending bills. These so-called special projects have little accountability to determine if the projects were completed on time, if the money was spent as intended or who profited from the deal. Pork and earmarks are out of control and crushing the financial future of America. Source: Campaign website, www.christineodonnell.com Aug 31, 2006
