. But, as a Republican you can't really complain about that. Pork-laden bills was your hallmark when you controlled Congress. He never controlled congress. And he only got to vote for three seats in congress, with the odds of his vote being decisive on any of them approaching zero. Would you say that you can't every complain about something the Republicans do, if the Democrats had done it before? I doubt it. If so then you can't complain about pork laden bills either next time we have a Republican congress. Most of the examples being screamed over are penny ante stuff, not even up to the levels of the Bridge to Nowhere, and in a much bigger bill. Broadly defined the bill is almost entirely pork. Narrowly defined (to cover only earmarks) it may have little or even technically no pork, but the real issue isn't the technical definition of pork, but rather massive amounts of politically direct spending.
