Pork II.

This article didn't necessarily praise pork completely - it had some negative things to say - but essentially it said it was a good thing. The authors seemed to think that pork was a bribe for the congressmen to help restore the ecomony as much as it was to benefit districts. They said Senators and Congressmen would not pass neede legislation like raising taxes unless they benefitted from it in someway to get reelected, which is where the pork comes in. It seemed legit.
