agree ...

wasteful pork is bad, but it does not hurt the communities that get the funds for the projects, so there is a small benefit.

The real risk is when the earmarks are used to buy votes on larger appropriation bills that would have been voted against.

So getting earmarks out of the legislative process is a good thing even if the pork is still spent under another name.
