And again, without the full picture, it's easily explained away as he's bringing home pork from other places.

What Kentucky gets, Michigan doesn't. That doesn't require a tax cut or gain.

Kentucky's getting a bigger slice of the pie becuase their steerage Senator is a bigger slice of the influence.

If I get taxed $100 a year, and 1 year, Maryland gets $95 and the next $105 in spending; that's not a tax and spend issue; that's a pork barrel influence issue.

I think that graph is illustrating the pork issue; not any tax policy issue.
