I'm just a pup, but it seem to me that some big dogs get more than their share of the meaty bones.

Roy Blunt Acknowledges Using U.S. Treasury As A Political Piggy Bank
Submitted by Roy Temple on July 29, 2005 - 10:23am
In this story on CAFTA, Rep. Roy Blunt (R-K Street) essentially acknowledges that he and the Bush Administration used the U.S. Treasury as a political piggy bank to buy votes for the trade agreement.
Rep. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., the House majority whip, played down reports that the White House was offering favors in return for votes. But he acknowledged that "it didn't hurt" to have the $286.5 billion highway bill - packed with projects for House members' districts_still on the calendar while he and other CAFTA proponents rounded up votes.
