I really think you're just bent it's named after Michelle Obama. The actual cost to expand/maintain the trail is not even a rounding error. Government is not a for-profit organization, nor should it ever be run like one. Also, even with the potential for abuse, earmarks are a net positive, particularly in today's ultra-partisan political climate. Congress critters are far more likely to step up to the negotiating table and craft a bill that will benefit the greater good of the country if they have some skin in the game (like, say, Dan Crenshaw from Texas, who secured $26 million in funding for projects in his district), like the bill that was passed today. So it’s sort of like shoplifting, as long as someone gets something then it’s not really wrong. Beautiful analogy. You inspire me. Pork, the other white meat.

Well, it's nothing at all like that, of course, but at least you're inspired now.

You are absolutely right, it’s worse than shoplifting because they’re robbing from American taxpayers at the tune of trillions instead of a few hundred dollars. And we have no choice but to let them. So yeah, it’s pretty damn awful.

So yeah, it’s pretty damn awful. You should write angry emails to the 100+ Republican legislators who requested earmarks. Anyway, it’s going to be OK, really.
