House Republicans Call For 1-Year Earmark Halt: "The House GOP caucus has agreed to call for a 1-year moratorium on all earmarks, Rep. Dan Lungren, R-Calif., confirmed to IBD's David Hogberg. Republicans appear to be raising the stakes a day after House Democratic leaders announced a ban on corporate earmarks. That followed a rash of ethics troubles for House Democrats, which forced Charlie Rangel to step down as Ways and Means chairman and Eric Massa to resign.
Come on, Dems. Are you really going to let Republicans get the upper hand on this issue in an election year? How about a 10-year halt to earmarks?"
