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.
