there was some pseudo-discussion of this on one or another of the cable "news" outlets this past week--the argument was that this budget was negociated this past fall, which explains the earmarking. the claim that accompanied it was that there would be no such earmarks on next years budget, which would be negociated under the present administration.
it's obvious that thinking all the way back to, say, september is alot to ask of conservatives, who seem to confuse slicing time into narrow slivers and then yelling about "inconsistencies" that result from their slicing of time into little slivers with meaningful critique.
but it doesn't matter: the right is so mired in a brand identity problem that they're functionally irrelevant. and even if that were not the case, the ENTIRETY of this economic fiasco originated with them--neoliberalism since reagan, 30 years of conservative control---no wonder they have a Problem with thinking in more than tiny slivers of time.
