> CORRUPTION, CORRUPTION AT HOME >>> >>> "Election pork", Danish (valgflæsk), Swedish (valfläsk), Norwegian (valgflesk), and "PORK BARREL" are often corruption tax monies distributed by the Government with no control to Senators and other representatives "to spend as they see fit without going through the normal budgetary process or through the Executive Branch." [Wikipedia]. Polish kiełbasa wyborcza ("election sausage"), Serbian podela kolača (cutting the cake to loyal members of the winning party), Czech předvolební guláš (pre-election goulash to potential voters, or porcování medvěda ("portioning of the bear"). Goodies ("Wahlgeschenke"), ("Kirchturmpolitik") as church tower politics and "Kantönligeist" cover these actions; "pork barrel" in the Philippines "are funds allocated to the members of the Philippine House of Representatives and the Philippine Senate to spend as they see fit without going through the normal budgetary process or through the Executive Branch." [Wikipedia]. The Finnish siltarumpupolitiikka (culvert politics) is similar.
