If you did it the other way around and said 'we have no money for the resurfacing of highway 31, and new tennis courts at the park in state rep Y's district'' you would find a lot less caring. If the state is 800 MILLION in the hole someone somewhere really fucked up and cuts NEED to be made.

I cannot say for certain that there is pork funded elsewhere, but then again, neither can you.

Are you really asking for a lesson in basic macro economics?
