Pork, its called Pork, you can read about here on the internet, or just watch the publicly broadcasted congressional sessions where they read this shit, and you can see why they vote it down... but hey yeah they didn't want to help. Not like the Dems literally do anything they can to push their agenda (republicans do it to, but they do it way less in important shit, fuck liberals voted down two gun laws in the last 4 years that would have prevented those on the terror watch list/no fly list from buying guns, which would have saved 49 lives a few weeks ago, but yes, it's the evil Republicans)
