Representative Nancy Pelosi's Smart Proposal to Reform the Earmarking of
Appropriations:
How Democrats Have Turned Republican, and Vice-Versa, When It Comes to
Spending
FindLaw columnist and Cardozo law professor Marci Hamilton discusses
soon-to-be House Leader Nancy Pelosi's proposal to reform the earmarking of
appropriations, by disclosing the sponsor of each piece of "pork" included
in legislation. Hamilton applauds Pelosi's proposal, and argues that it
fits into a recent trend in which Republicans -- who've historically
stressed fiscal responsibility -- have become the big spenders, and
Democrats have worked to curb spending and increase accountability.
Hamilton draws on history from the Framers' time to put this flip-flop in
constitutional context.

So where has this guy been these last 25 years? Hiding
under a rock?
Reagan took office in 1981, denounced the "Democratic
over spending" and right away revealed his plan to spend
our way out of over spending.
Yup. Reagan was going to give us a balanced budget by
increasing the deficit!
A mere 12 years later and Clinton took office, enacting
the budget reforms the Republicans always talked about,
but never once so much as tried to propose.
Eight years later and Clinton is gone, and the second Bush
disaster had us back to deficits by August.
Seriously. When the Republicans have been huge spenders
for 25 years solid, I'd say we can no longer claim that it is
"Recent."
