Wow. CNN says Democrats got more pork
$2.6B for Democrats
$1.9B for Republicans

What did CNN leave out in their bias numbers?

There are far more Democrats than Republicans in Congress.

I did the math and the 'pork' was evenly split base on the percentages. CNN and "Taxpayers for Common Sense" leaves that fact out.

1. You mean bridges and R&D and ports and parks?
We're stupid to buy into this pork and earmark nonsense in the first place. If they build something in your local district that you don't need, then stand up to it. Don't think anybody will? That's because we need most of that "pork".

3. I agree.
Right now is the time for the government to spend more, not less. Hardly any "pork" is "bad pork" in this economy. Nearly all that spending is creating jobs in the U.S.

2. One man's pork is another man's missile silo.
Defense Spending is the biggest pork possible...
