House Democrats are following Republicans on the pork bridge to nowhere.
In order to pass a bill they hope will stop the dying in Iraq, House leaders plan to reward the dying caused by spinach growers. Their $124 billion bill to fund and end the war includes about $29 billion in pork to help soak up votes. $25 million of the pork is to compensate spinach farmers for consumer refusal to buy their e-coli contaminated product.
