Dollar wise, in comparison to the overall budget, it is a tiny amount. The dollar figure won't be the issue for opposition. The dollar figure will be the point of supporters. It will be more talking past instead of talking to.
I'm not for it either way. As stated, they should vote it down in a bipartisan effort. It will be one less distraction.

We are $20 trillion in debt. It's not simply returning the money.
How is it not returning money? Is the earmark money used less efficiently than when the Feds spend it? I'd like to see proof.
Would you rather have the states in control of that money or have the Feds in control?
As an overall percentage of spending from recent Federal budgets, earmarks typically represented approximately 1-2 percent of the discretionary budget and less than 1 percent of the overall budget.
