Well, compared to Inhofe’s & Shelby’s pork hauls Murkowski incompetent!
How much pork is in that budget????
All pork barrel money is wasted money. The shorttimers are gouging it to buy themselves lobbyist gigs and repay their largest donors.
LINE ITEM VETO
90% is pork fat.
THIS should be ILLEGAL!! If you are retiring or LOST, you should NOT be able to even VOTE on this let alone put something in it!!
Republicans are no better than DemocRats when it comes to controlling spending.
