Remove earmarks and you put all federal spending at the descretion of the Executives, and agency heads.

No, you could still spend money, it would just have to be a direct result of the original bill, instead of an add in later on.

I think we basically agree on this one. I would be very happy if they enacted the rules you are saying for earmarks, I just don't trust politicians to use earmarks correctly, so I think we should remove them completely, and just keep it simple.
