Every time John McCain utters his opposition to pork barrel earmark spending, remember that he’s talking about his opposition to projects like federal funding for at-risk and homeless youth in Kansas City, community health centers all across Missouri, early childhood education in Springfield and Saint Louis, and so on. If you wondering what else, take a look at Sunlight Foundation’s Earmark Watch. Just enter your zip code, city, or state.

Consider this an open thread for the debate.
