The term "pork barrel spending" refers to wasteful or unnecessary spending, primarily for political reasons. The "pork" is government dollars spent in the home districts of legislative representatives, in order to promote their popularity and hence their re-election.

In modern US politics, pork is used to encourage legislators to vote for proposals they and their constituents would not otherwise support, technically a legal form of bribery or extortion.
