So you pretty much responded without refuting one single thing that Rainmaker said. Good job!

My point in both posts was directed towards wasteful spending. You're technically correct in regards to the percentage, but that earmark percentage doesn't include the copious amount of waste that are included as being 'necessary' in many government programs. Your point is taken.
