Some people even think tax cuts are a form of pork. Just because you call something pork doesn't mean it is. Any government spending can be labeled as pork. Pork is as much more about how efficiently in terms of the need for that spending in the market and for society the money is being spent than what it is being spent on. And why would infrastructure spending or something like that be any different? How is that less "pork" than anything else? Its real easy to label something as pork. All you have to do is say the word pork. Does that necessarily mean it is pork? No. I honestly think halogamer would prefer if the country suffered if it meant that it would mean Republicans would benefit from it. That's a pretty sadistic way of thinking and is the definition of partisan politics. |
I highly doubt that because we are all Americans and want what is best.
But ironically, that's what many conservatives said about the democrats in the past.
