Russ Feingold: In the News - Press Releases

Russ Feingold: In the News - Press Releases: "Today, the U.S. Senate passed an amendment introduced by Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) to cancel old, unspent transportation earmarks, which could save taxpayers about $478 million this year and considerably more over time."

If the money is not "earmarked" doesn't that mean that the federal government will still spend the money -- just on a project decided by the bureaucracy instead of elected representatives?
