The United States is currently $12 TRILLION in debt, but Congress can do even better. They just added $5 BILLION of our tax dollars to the 2010 Defense Department budget, which was already at $623 BILLION. Congress saw the need to add 1,858 earmark projects to the Pentagon budget. These are projects that were not asked for by the military, but individual congressmen wanted to help friends and contributors to Congressional election campaigns.
Members of Congress have no problem spending our tax dollars to help them get reelected. Congress has no problem adding more debt onto us, our children, and grandchildren. Remember this when voting in November of 2010.
