The Club For Growth - Kline Says No to Pork

It's not just Tom Coburn. Rep. John Kline (R.-Minn.) says, "I came in, somewhat naively I admit, thinking I was going to compete for my district, like everyone else does. I've got some very worthwhile projects. Then the realization kept coming back year after year that this is preposterous." Sen. Claire McKaskill (D.-Mo.) says no to pork, too. "If you know somebody or have a friend on the right committee, you get your individual project funded. That's not the way to spend taxpayer money."
