It's either:
Congress members are voting for job programs for their constituents so they can convince their constituents to re-elect them
Or:
Congress members are voting for job programs for their donors so they can raise money to buy advertising so they can convince their constituents to re-elect them
In either scenario, the endgame is about the voter.
- Retric 10y agoYour stuck on jobs programs not the multimillion dollar payout for the owners. Congressional districts are huge at around 700,000 poeple, and 'brining home' money is not going to buy many votes. Further, this still goes on even when there is little risk for reelection. In fact it's more common the longer someone has been in office.
