I've been wondering about this question for a long time. We have a representative that has been around long enough and on the right committee that he brings pork back constantly for projects that make no sense fiscally. My opinion is that he will never be voted out because of the enormous pork money he brings in.
Keyshawn, does you link cover all of the pork compromises by state? I'm willing to bet that many of the TFP folks would be willing to give up the local pork, just to achieve a balanced budget.
