Democrats cut Billions in Pork
One of the first things the Democrats will have to do is pass the budget that this Congress just didn't have time for with their hectic 103 day work year, that's the equivalent to over twenty weeks of work..........
In order to speed up the process, they have will eliminate thousands of pork barrel projects, saving the taxpayers billions. Under the watchful eyes of the GOP, pork barrel spending exploded, with nearly ten times as many earmarks as when the Democrats last held the House gavel, well, all that's over now.

Re: Democrats cut Billions in Pork
Under our new truth in titling program, this thread will be renamed "Democrats to cut Billions in Pork and replace it with Billions in other Pork"
Anyone who believes the Hill will be any different in terms of back-room deals, wasteful spending and corruption hasn't been paying attention for the last 60 or so years. Matt
