Hillary Clinton often claims she has 35 years of experience. In truth and in politics she has only been an elected official for seven years.
Yet, in just seven years she has become an expert in abusing the system.
Since taking office in 2001, Hillary Clinton has "earmarked" more than $2.3 billion in federal appropriations for projects in her state of New York.
"Earmarking" allows politicians to avoid the regular budget process and write bills that pass without ever being voted on.
Hillary has pushed through 261 earmarks, more than any other presidential candidate.
**Earmarking is often referred to as "pork" or "pork barrel spending".
The most famous of pork is from Alaskan Senator Ted Steven's half a billion dollar bridge to nowhere.
