Typically, 'pork' involves funding for government programs whose economic or service benefits are concentrated in a particular area but whose costs are spread among all taxpayers. Public works projects, certain national defense spending projects, and agricultural subsidies are the most commonly cited examples. Pork is often identified as a key cause of government waste in the United States, specifically by funding programs which were not requested, authorised, competitively awarded, exceeding the budget, not subject to congressional hearings, and/or only serve a local, special interest.

The main argument against pork barrel legislation is that it is inherently wasteful. Representatives often attach legislation that benefits only people in particular districts.
