To clarify firstdown's numbers that was $ 23 Billion in unecessary pork. Over 2% of the total spending bill of $ 933 Billion. Where do you draw the line, 3%, 5%? How about none or under 1%, sounds good to me. It isn't the government's job to provide pet subsidies to localities, individuals, or corporations that keep them in office with the money we as taxpayers earned. If I want to keep a politician in office, I'll contribute to the campaign.
But the record deficits are all Bush's fault
