Senator Tom Coburn, a Republican of Oklahoma, is faulting House Republicans for not going far enough in cutting earmark spending, USA Today reports: "Many in Congress promised taxpayers a full earmark moratorium, not a half moratorium," the paper quotes Senator Coburn as saying. "Protecting nearly $5 billion in earmarks from cuts sends the wrong message to taxpayers." Among the earmarks that did not get cut were $20 million for a World War II museum in New Orleans.
