Bring back pork (Congressmen, politicians, parties, election)

[gladhands]

Pork fueled the engine of bipartisanship. Without it, there’s no incentive to work across the aisle, and the two parties will continue to act like warring factions.

I second that! Without pork in the pork & beans it's nothing but beans.

[Boss]

It looks like a different kind of pork went into the tax bill.

It's the type of pork giving personal enrichment to a few members of both houses and the POTUS. Not benefiting the general public.

lmao..What an idiotic thing to say. You are basically admitting that these career politicians are only in it for themselves and re election and you seem to be fine with that. Whoever agrees with this is the entire problem in this country.

Diving up your the loot of your fellow man to fund some pet scheme with no benefits but to a few.
Greed is good in statist land.

I’m fairly certain congressmen elected to represent their district. What you’re seeing right now is a Congress that represents their respective parties and its donors.

Pork tastes good. I think I'll use my tax cut money to buy some.

[ahzzie]

If I were in Congress I would be inclined to thwart what the opposition was doing at all costs. However, if someone were to introduce a big plate of crispy bacon during a session, that might cause me to be a little more open to the idea of compromise.

So yes...bring on the pork!
