That’s right, in less than two years, conservatives blew through a billion bucks for poppycock projects. The Freedom Caucus formed in 2015 around four principles, one of those was - and I quote “to institute a ban on earmarks.” And it’s not just a few people… it’s nearly half the Freedom Caucus. Twenty-two out of 49 members spent this billion dollars on pork.
