Pork is bad for your health

It seems that the Democrats just can't resist an opportunity to load up a "critical" bill with pork projects. Now I'm all for parks and walking paths, but not when it's included in legislation that I was opposed to from the start.

I can empathize with someone who needs a kidney transplant and is at risk of losing their house because of the outrageous medical bills that they're strapped with, but I could give two shits about some fat-ass with diabetes whose excuse is that they don't have enough public walkways or parks in their town. That's what levy-based public park systems are for. Let the people in the community support their local park system with their own tax dollars.

I don't think this is exclusive to just Democrats. Do you really want to get into the frivolous spending of the Republicans between 2001-2008??

As disgusting as it is, very few politicians can resist an opportunity to get money for their districts back home....I mean, it's an opportunity to placate voters that will be deciding their fate come next election cycle. And it will probably only get worse in this economic situation since any pork can be used to make the claim that they brought jobs to their district, even if it is picking up twigs in a park or pouring a sidewalk for fat people that won't use it anyway.
