U.S. House Spent $20.3 Million on Mailings

U.S. House members spent $20.3 million in tax money last year to send constituents what is often the government equivalent of junk mail. They sent nearly 116 million pieces of mail in all. Many of these were glossy productions filled with flattering photos and lists of the latest roads and bridges that the lawmaker has brought home to the district. I call that pork at it's worst. How about you?
