Oh, THAT's good. There's 1% of the expenditures. What about the other 99%?

How do you define pork?

What are the things you think the feds should be responsible for?

I think it is way more than that but now we call pork 'entitlements'. That is fully
cooked pork if you don't get my drift.

Local expenditures that have no relation to national policies, and that come
at the expense of everyone else.

I'd have to charge money for that book. g

I never heard anyone call entitlements "pork." Veterans' benefits are
entitlements. Social security is an entitlement.

Is every expenditure "pork," then? How about adding to police forces in
high-crime areas? Is that "pork" for those areas? What do YOU think is pork?

That sounds like a local expendature that comes at the expense of everyone else.


Besides, that is the state's problem.
