honour amongst thieves? pork recipients 'consider' giving it back
the amounts are tiny and the action hasn't yet been taken， but this is a significant step in unplugging the dam：
Monday night, the city of Bozeman, Mont., may do something unheard of. Congress earmarked $4 million in federal funds to build Bozeman a parking garage. Now the city commission will consider a proposal to give the money back, citing the financial needs of areas along the Gulf Coast.
all the campaigners need do is keep up the pressure：
Pork is the poster child for government bloat, and it needs to highlighted, project by project, by project, and the politicians who push it should be made to defend each project again and again.
just as with bigots， the corrupt can not stand daylight if provided in sufficient quantity：
How it infuriates a bigot when he is forced to drag out his dark convictions.
