   	Not in person but in videos But the term Pork here refers to   
   appropriation to finance the construction and related matters of   
   testing the components, etc.   
   	In the USA Pork Barrel politics refers to the practice of   
   awarding contracts for whatever to the State, City, County   
   where the voters for the party or person to be  re-elected reside.   
      
   	Just another form of bribery or Grift. However it does   
   generally provide jobs therefore income to the residents of   
   the district.
