Young: Pork Is My Job

Rep. Don Young (R-AK) shared his thoughts on his job as a member of Congress with the Anchorage Daily News:

“When you are chairman of a committee, you represent the whole nation; you don’t represent one district, which is in my case is one state,” Young said. “Earmarks are good for the country and good for the people you represent.

“That is the role of a congressman. If you can’t get money for your district, you shouldn’t be in Congress,” he said.

And when you’re tired of rolling pork home, send it to Florida.
