That's not corruption in the way that word is commonly used. Equating the deliberate misuse of public funds with non-ideal outcomes because of broader cultural attitudes towards government just destroys the meaning of the word.
No, that's pork barrel spending, which is a different thing, namely, a policy decision (that you perhaps disagree with) made within the confines of the law. Stop trying to get the word corruption to encompass "all decisions I disagree with." It's what people do when they're trying to make their disagreement into an ideological judgement, because that's what's more satisfying and exciting.
You're seriously saying it can't be misuse because it's legal?
It's been legal for congress members to inside trade, even. That doesn't make it acceptable. It's not just making decisions I "disagree with" that matter here.
