"The fiscal 2011 pork is well on pace to match the 9,129 pork projects worth $16.5 billion in fiscal 2010, according to data from Citizens Against Government Waste."Congressional Democrats once again showed that they are far more fiscally conservative than Republicans who when they controlled "Congress allocated a record $71.77 billion in 2006 to 15,832 special projects".
That's another reason to reject the phony-conservative, fiscally bankrupting rightwing in this country.
