I have heard that 40 percent of these wonderful pork projects were from republicans.
Correction: 40 percent were from the last one. Come on repubs, we can get the pork up over 50 percent!
I see people post about the Republicans doing it too but if they didn’t stick their nose in their districts would get cheated out of getting some of their money back. As long as the system is in place as it is, to unilaterally disarm makes about as much sense as it did in the 80’s with the nukes. If I were a Congressman I’d work very hard to get the right controls in place to stop all of it but until it was stopped I’d grab every nickel I could for my district.
Thad Cochran is very ticked off that Glenn Beck called him out on his earmark yesterday.
