Indy Star-- Pence: "You can't complain about the sharks while you're holding a bucket of chum"
Maureen Groppe of The Indianapolis Star writes about earmarks, "a line item in a bill targeting money for a specific purpose." Here is an excerpt from the article:
"Jack Abramoff, the once-powerful lobbyist who has pleaded guilty to conspiring to bribe public officials, referred to the committees that produce the spending bills as 'favor factories.'
"Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., is among the lawmakers who argue that any changes Congress makes in response to such scandals must involve the budget process.
"'You can't complain about the sharks while you're holding a bucket of chum,' Pence said."
