I Don't Think It Means What You Think It Means

This is what is wrong with the Democrats... they think this is pork barrel:

Democrats said the Republican plan was awash in pork-barrel projects - such as a $2.9 million property tax break for restaurant kitchen equipment - and would cripple the University of Wisconsin System.

"This is Edward Scissorhands on meth - it's cut, cut, cut, cut, cut," Rep. Jennifer Shilling (D-La Crosse) said of the UW plan.

A tax break is not pork barrel.  That is actually letting some people keep their own damn money.  I'd argue that it would be better to let all of us keep some more of our money... you  know... like a flat tax or abolishing the income tax in favor of a larger sales tax.  But hey, we'll take what we can get.  And if giving you guys meth to cut our taxes is what it takes... then so be it.  I'll go find some crack or heroin too if you want.

In the same breath, they were arguing that the GOP motions to block the DOT from going
forward with certain projects, i.e. prevent them from spending money, was also pork. Sigh.
