Pigs at the trough: Have they no shame

At a time of great financial crisis, what do our members of congress do? Add pork and earmarks of course. The bill just passed by the Senate has hundreds of pages of goodies and the House has yet to add to theirs. Shouldn't they set aside their partisan habits for a few days anyway. If this is what has come of our country no wonder congress has the lowest favorability rating in history of any institution. If this Congress existed at the time of pearl harbor, no doubt a declaration of war would have taken weeks and would have ended up with a thousand pages mostly of earmarks. No true American would support such travesy.
