What benefits if have no pork barrel?

In: US Constitution [Edit categories]

Answer:

"Pork" is legislation within a bill that gives money to a certain interest group or cause that has nothing to do with the main part of the bill. The benefits of having no pork is not feeding federal money to an outside interest group just to keep them happy about the bill being passed.
