What the what was Harry's pork specifically and precisely how did it affect the findimentals of the bill in terms of dollars and cents.

Rick Rowlands

Harry Reid put in amendments to add pork to benefit southern states to gain the support of seven Republican senators to achieve a fillibuster proof piece of legislation. 

Towntalk

It was a CLEAN bill with NO amendments in the House. "Clean" = No Pork.

Well if it was a clean bill without all the pork that was thrown in, the bill would have sailed right through.
which political party installed the least amt of pork?

Towntalk

Votein and only 1 Republican didn't vote for Speaker Johnny.
