earmark是美國國會議員無需經過國會討論的項目。很多議員用這些項目資金在他們自己房地產地帶興建基礎設施，由此帶來自己資產增值。如果是拆遷，只要拆遷戶中有一戶不是該議員的親屬，這個項目就不違反國會廉潔規範。所以，所有這些項目的腐敗都是合法的，都是法律上不可追究的。以下是《華盛頓郵報》的報道。

Sen. Richard C. Shelby (R-Ala.) has earmarked more than $100 million toward rebuilding downtown Tuscaloosa, Ala., where he owns an office building. The street in front of the building will be redone with other streets as part of the project's second phase. Shelby said there is no conflict between his property and the revitalization project. "I have nothing to hide. I make no money out of it," he said.

An overview of the newly revitalized downtown Tuscaloosa includes a four-story parking garage, top left, and a park square, top center, with decorative lamps, a fountain and pavilion clock tower. The new $67 million earmark-funded federal courthouse is pictured at top right. Sen. Richard C. Shelby (R-Ala.) owns a 7,800-square-foot gray, one-story building next to the garage. Shelby's block was not razed, though it was classified by project consultants as one of the three most blighted blocks in the proposed 16-block revitalization. The hometown senator also purchased the adjacent parking lot next to his building, which is home to Shelby's Tuscaloosa Title company and his nephew's law firm.

Over the past decade, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) helped secure $50 million in earmarks toward a light-rail project that provides direct access to Union Square and Chinatown for neighborhoods south of Market Street in San Francisco. Pelosi's husband owns a four-story commercial building blocks from Union Square. A Pelosi spokesman said the project was requested by community leaders and the new stations on the line will be farther away from the building from those on the existing line.

Earmarks 真是操蛋，但選區的選民又高興他們能帶回這些 earmarks.

西方民主的一個最大惡疾就是打著取悅選民的旗子，套現的是整個社會的未來，而干著滿足自己私慾的勾當。
