The constituents for the big porkers are no doubt damn happy that their reps are bringing home the bacon, and will reward them accordingly come election time. So it goes.
I'm one of the few people here who didn't get worked up over CFR, and here's why: if Fedgov only spent money on things that were constitutionally mandated, no corporation or org. would bother wasting money trying to bribe a politician with donations - there would be no possibility for a
quid pro quo.
I gotta laugh - all these folks scream "CFR tramples the Constitution!", while no one says squat about the trampling on the Constitution the donations buy.
An analogy would be if the folks on Flight 93 spent their last moments complaining that the bags of peanuts were too small...
