Plain-English Summary
This resolution expresses the view that Congress should not use taxpayer money for earmarks—special funding projects that individual lawmakers insert into spending bills to benefit their home districts or states. The measure does not change any laws or spending, but rather makes a statement opposing this common congressional practice that critics say wastes money on local projects that may not be priorities for the nation as a whole.
