===Failure to reform earmarks===

===Porkbarrel===

The noted newspaper which covers legislative affairs, ''The Hill'', reported Hillary Clinton received more [[earmark]]s for Congressional [[pork barrel]] projects than only one other United States Senator.  Reforming the earmark process had been among the Democrats top priorities in the [[110th Congress]], up until the time Democrats voted to rescind the rules aimed at reform that were passed in the first 100 hours of the new Congress in January.  Ethics reform and the earmark process is widely attributed as the cause why Republicans lost control of both Houses of Congress after several members had been caught up in ethical scandals.  ''The Hill'' reported Sen. Clinton received 26 earmarks worth about $148.4 million total, much going to [[The Pentagon|Pentagon]] contractors.<ref>Tiron, Roxana and Wurman, Ilan (June 13, 2007).  [http://web.archive.org/web/20081211151216/http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/clinton-can-boast-wealth-of-earmarks-2007-06-13.html "Clinton can boast wealth of earmarks"].  The Hill website/Leading the news.  Retrieved from December 11, 2008 archive at Internet Archive.</ref>
