If your premise is correct, please explain who pays for special indulgences for Alabama?

Does Alabama tax revenue pay for special shipments of pork to, say, California?

If Pelosi is more powerful than Rogers, then obviously San Francisco should get more pork than Auburn/Opelika – is that correct?

Are earmarks voted on, by line item, by the entire House of Representatives or just in the room where the deal is sealed?

Are pet projects executed by pet contractors?

What role do lobbyists play in the negotiation of earmarks?
