Does your Congress representative truly favor full transparency?
)
November 13th, 2020
Every bill passed by the legislature contains ‘pork’, which is loosely defined as ” a metaphor for the appropriation of government spending for localized projects secured solely or primarily to bring money to a representative’s district.” What the definition does not say is that the localized project may have absolutely nothing to do with the main thrust and/or purpose of the bill.
Even the famous ACA (more commonly known as Obamacare) has billions of dollars hidden in its 2,700 pages. See

No wonder the bill was popular. The fact that it was initially unpopular tends to be not mentioned anywhere.
So, do you think your Congress representative really wants full transparency?
