Why was Andrew Jackson against federal money for internal improvements?

For one thing, he believed, as would anyone who reads the constitution carefullly, that was unconstitutional . The Constitutions lists all the powers of the federal government and says that everything not listed belongs to the states. Jackson had no complaint against internal improvement - he just believed that states should fund the ones they wanted to fund. After he got Congress to pay off the national debt, he sent excess federal funds back to states.
He also could see the danger of the "pork barrel" - the idea that Congressmen would try to buy popularity in their states by voting to send federal money, which belongs to all the people, back home to their district-- (fortunately, senators and congressmen have more personal integrity than to ever do anything like that.?!
