>> i have nothing against youngstown. absolutely nothing. so, no. actually, the issue is, as the congressman points out, he's on the appropriations committee. the vast majority of the lawmakers are not on the appropriations it committee. we're making funding decisions not based on project merit but political muscle. money that's going to youngstown is money that's not available to somewhere else, and it's money that wasn't available to congressman ryan or youngstown before he got on the appropriations committee. we certainly supported every change that's gone on as far as making the information more public and more available. but it's still not transparent. it's on 500 different websites if you want to try to track all that information. we don't know why one project gets picked and another one gets left behind. lastly, a couple years ago, congress bought 10 new c-17s that the air force didn't want. if we had cut that from the budget and allowed it to go to deficit reduction, we would have saved billions dollars. you can save money by cutting earmark
