Nothing will change with new leadership. I just read a news report about the new house speaker MS.Polosi. She is not going to do anything differant then all the other speakers did ; Send million of dollars home. She all ready sent 6.7 million for a dental clinic in San Francisco.,2.1 million for a Maritine Nation Historic Park also in SF. ,388,000 to rehab A Filipono cultral center. She has already talked to people from California about doubling their money for pet projects. I thought this was going to be a new way of doing business. ?Do we want the people who won to just be the same as the old ones?

Danny G; I get angrey when either partie spend money like it was theirs. I agree to send money home to help with fuel ,food, & education. That is all. The rest should be paid for from city & State not federal.

Republicans learned about pork projects from the Masters...the Democrats have been creating pork projects since the days of Franklin Roosevelt.
Politicians learn, early in their careers, how to use our tax money to buy votes from their constituents.

I think the Republicans actually showed RELATIVE restraint in the pork they sent home.
Now that the Dems are back in power, they want to raise taxes so they can send more PORK home.
They want to buy enough votes with our tax dollars to get them re-elected!

No, nothing will change except for the political party. Are you angry that the Republicans cannot keep all that pork barrel for themselves?
