Bayh Urges Veto

Wait until next year on corrupting earmarks, after our President Barack Obama's campaign promise to end the practice? Tribune on Dem misgivings on the $410 BILLION Omnibus spending bill--another porkulus in the making:
Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.) said Obama's position was not good enough. He wants the president to veto the bill. In an interview, Bayh said that killing the bill would give Obama a chance to show he is serious about stamping out earmarks.
A veto would "set the tone for how we're going to deal with our fiscal problems going forward," Bayh said. "We're increasing spending many times the rate of inflation at a time when many families are cutting back. That could lead to voter anger—and rightfully so."
