McCain is spending 90% of his time talking about less than 1% of the budget.

You keep hearing a lot about pork barrel spending or earmarks.  And you'd be inclined to think that this is something quite significant given that McCain and Palin keep harping on about it.

In fact "earmarks" make up less than half a percent of the budget.  Which means that McCain is spending 90% of his time talking about less than 1% of the budget.
