24. Oddly, however,
it's precisely now that dems find that pork can be such a savory dish.

It's bad when they do it; it's unconscionable, an abuse of power, gaming the system and manipulating the process.

It's good when they do it; it's a downright virtue, proper use of budgetary power, using the system as it was meant to be used.

I say it's bad all the time. I'd rather see 300 spending bills than one bill with spending for 300+ unrelated things.
