Have more to add? News tip? Tell us

We have elected many leaders that have become "hog farmers" (pork-barrel spending), and the American people end up trying to live off hog feed.

Until we as a nation return to the values our Founding Fathers used to establish it and on which they based the Constitution, we are on a downhill slide. How much of our debt is due to "pork-barrel spending" like that in the bill for New York and New Jersey disguised as "aid" for Sandy relief?

How much did Texas receive as aid for relief from wildfires this past year?
