Politicians can gain added support for themselves by approving Pork barrel projects.

Pork barrel refers to the appropriation of government spending for projects to bring money to a representative's district. This word was early implemented in American English. In election campaigns, the metaphor is employed in derogatory fashion in order to attack opponents. Nevertheless, scholars use it as a technical term pertaining to legislative control of local appropriations.
