Budget Pork

The most immediate budget problem in Congress involves the Bush budget for 2009. It never got passed last year in anticipation of a new President. And the 2009 budget I'm referring to here isloaded with pork-barrel spending projects. About 58% of that pork is Democratic in nature and 42% is Republican. But now the Republicans are ranting about the pork-laden budget - at least the 58% that's not theirs.

BTW, some crazy-ass spending projects might not be so bad right now as most of that money would help create or maintain jobs.
