Taxpayers for Common Sense (TCS) staff and interns devote thousands of hours to researching, reconciling, and double-checking every earmark identified by Congress and every spending item that meets our definition of an earmark. TCS defines earmarks as legislative provisions that set aside funds within an account for a specific program, project, activity, institution, or location. These measures normally circumvent merit-based or competitive allocation processes and appear in spending, authorization, tax, and tariff bills.
To access these downloadable databases and other earmark resources, we ask that you agree to our Terms of Service.
