Question

if a member of congress directs a great deal of federal funding to build dams that are not really necessary in her state but create a lot of jobs, the member of congress is engaged in which of the following?

Answer 1

When a member of Congress does what is described above, this is known as the practice of Pork-Barreling

Pork Barreling:

• Refers to when a Member of Congress uses federal funds for projects in their district that aren't really needed
• Is done to secure votes by pleasing voters

When these projects are founded in the district, they will create jobs for those in that district which ensures that those people will vote for the Member of Congress that brought the project.

In conclusion, this is pork-barreling.
