Pork Tracking Agency Stops After Democrats Take Control

So, there's an agency called the Congressional Research Service that tracks and puts a dollar figure on pork spending on bills and reports that don't require a vote. They've been doing it for years. Now, a month after Democrats have taken power in Congress, they have mysteriously stopped tracking that information.

Some Republicans don't want to point fingers at Democrats over this matter. That's ok. I will. Something isn't right and I'm willing to bet that either Democrats pressured this guy or this guy leans to the left a bit and decided it on his own. Either way, it is an important function of government that shouldn't be shut down for any reason.

Democrats have a nasty reputation for pork spending, and this doesn't sit well for me as it gives Democrats and pork spending Republicans the ability to spend and have one less avenue for the general public to know about it.
