Why do I keep hearing about all this pork in the ’supplemental” spending bill for the troops?

gunkinthedrain asked:


Hopefully a Bush supporter can answer this question especially, because it confuses me…Every “supplemental” spending bill passed by the Republican congress had more outside Iraq/Afghan spending than this one, and this isn’t a war spending bill, it is actually a supllemental bill so it confuses when Bush states the pork issue and other Republicans parrot it, maybe you can help me?

    The appropriation will not stand on its own so they added spending for appropriation members of congress use that the original intent of congress use that the appropriation will not stand.
    For other items that have nothing to added to added to added to do with the bill since it is fat it is why most presidents want line item veto the bill since it is why most presidents want line item veto ability.
