Some pork I fully agree exists.
But some people call pork what they don't need (regardless if someone else needs it).
For instance, if a federal budget includes some "tornado relief", I, living in a area that is not known for tornados, may consider it pork.
However, someone in tornado alley will see it as essential.
That's the issue with "pork" spending...its a subjective stance.
