One of the recent criticisms of the Stimulus (particularly from Republicans) is that it is full of pork.
Anytime the government spends, there is a high probability that pet projects or programs (a.k.a, “pork”) will be included. And when the biggest spending bill ever works its way through Congress, there’s no way it can survive without picking up some pork along the way. Granted, no “earmarks” were allowed, but there are other ways to get pork in a bill.

(Apologies to those who keep Kosher.)
Does the Stimulus Bill contain pork? I say: “Tell me something new!”
The real question is: To Stimulate or Not To Stimulate.
