Pork Abounds In Omnibus Spending Bill

In recent years, Congress seems to have abandoned the practice of writing and passing a bill for one purpose. Instead, they write huge, overreaching bills that include just about anything that they wish to stick into it. ObamaCare is a prime example, as is the "stimulus" bill that Obama passed. This Democrat-dominated Congress, in particular, loves to introduce these huge bills as what they call "comprehensive solutions."

With massive bills like these, we're basically buying a pig in a poke.

And speaking of pig, let's look at how much pork was stuffed into the latest massive bill, the omnibus budget bill. This bill contains 5,727 earmarks stuffed within its 1,924 pages.

The problem with massive bills is that wasteful and corrupt crap can be more easily hidden inside them. If you'd like to see a list of which Senators got how many earmarks, or if you'd like to see an actual LIST of those earmarks, you can go here to look:

For the record, our own Richard Shelby got 32 earmarks, and Sessions got 21 earmarks.
