The correct answer is pork barrel spending.

Pork barrel spending ( sometimes called earmarking ) is a metaphor for <em>government's spending on localized projects in order to please or win voters in a representative's district.</em>

A politician promises his voters financial support for a project or investment, so that they vote for him in an election.

Pork barrel spending may help some bills pass through the legislative process, but it is usually considered a wasteful use of tax payers funds because it benefits selected constituencies of Congressional members and not the country as a whole.

Why were African Americans protesting through the 1950s and 1960s and what did they want?
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The main reason A-A were protesting in the 50's and 60's were for civil rights; aka equal rights. Segregation was a real problem in the US at this time, and since women were getting most of their rights via civil rights amendments, A-A's were also protesting.

Can u name ten interesting places in America? They have to be like land marks and national parks (so not vacation spot)
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

1.) Canyonlands National Park, USA - Utah's Canyonlands National Park is an authentic playground of rivers, canyons, mesas, and arches. Whether you want to raft the Colorado River, bike the epic Island in the Sky, or explore the rugged expanse in a Jeep, Canyonlands is a true adventurer's paradise.

2.) Sima de las Cotorras, Mexico - Deep in Chiapas, Mexico, there's a 500ft.-wide sinkhole full of ancient cave paintings and wild parrots: Sima de las Cotorras. Standing at the edge is breathtaking enough, but you can actually rappel down the walls to see the massive cave on the sinkhole floor.

3.) Horseshoe Bend, USA - As one of the most famous stops along the Colorado River's path through Arizona, Horseshoe Bend should come as no surprise to lovers of the Southwest. Though familiar, hiking the ridge to see the river 1,000 feet below is an amazing experience that just has to be done in person.

4.) Athabasca Glacier, Canada - How about a 3-mile-long glacier that you can visit in your car? That's the Athabasca Glacier, located in the spectacular Columbia Icefield near Jasper in the Canadian Rockies. Visit soon, though, as this behemoth beauty has been receding at a rapid clip for the past century.

5.Crowsnest Pass, Canada - Crowsnest Pass is one of the most beautiful stops along Canada's Continental Divide. There are countless trails, rivers, lakes, and hills to explore, but the not-so-outdoorsy can also visit the area's historic mines or simply grab a hot coco and enjoy the Northern Lights.

6. Upper Antelope Canyon, USA - Ah...Upper Antelope Canyon, the toast of landscape photographers everywhere and, with the exception of the Wave, possibly the most unique rock formation in the US. Try to book a guided visit for the morning when the interplay of light and shadow is at its most majestic.

7.Custer State Park, USA - Custer State Park has a natural bounty that rivals that of any national park in the West. Herds of bison and pronghorn antelope roam golden prairies and shady pine forests and the best part is that it's close to many other iconic landmarks like Mt. Rushmore.

8. Trail Ridge Road, USA - Trail Ridge Road in Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park offers some of the most breathtaking views found anywhere. Whether you traverse the trails on foot or drive straight to the top, standing 11,000ft. above the glorious Rockies is an sight not to be missed!

9.Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center, USA - The Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center near Yellowstone is a sanctuary for orphaned wildlife and, since the park is set up to mimic the surrounding wilderness, it offers one of the best chances to see North America's large predators in a (nearly) natural setting.

10. Watkins Glen State Park, USA - New York's Watkins Glen State Park proves you don't need to head west for amazing natural settings. Try the Gorge Trail which heads past nearly 20 different waterfalls along with quiet pools and interesting rock formations.
