it is how votes are bought and paid for in politics. This is but one very small example of what it is that special interest groups and lobbyists obtain from the lawmakers. And like this one most are never ever heard of or about by the American people.

These are the kinds of programs that are usually included in other legislation that is being rammed through the approval process, better known as pork or ear marks.

Billions and billions of $$$ that will never be cut because nobody in politics will suggest such because they don't want theirs cut. As a result they all keep quiet about the spending that would make excellent fodder for spending cuts.

It is much easier to cut social security and defense and to also keep the spot light off programs like the pig farmers.

More proof on the subject of who it is the lawmakers are beholding to and it most certainly is not main stream America.

PS....where is the opposition commentary. I would like to know if a program like this is OK with you all??
