Aquino and the Pork Barrel

As Texans say,
"Big hat, no cattle."

In his two-hour State of the Nation speech, President Aquino did not devote even one second to the congressional pork barrel scandal. Nor did he cut the pork barrel budget by even a centavo.

The amount budgeted is P27 billion. The amount allocated for theft was not divulged.

Aquino talks a lot about cleaning up corruption, but when it comes time to act, nothing much happens.
