Answer:
Pork barrel spending
Explanation:
Politicians, especially congress people, can use pork barrel spending to appropriate national funds for local spending. Whether this is considered corruption or not depends. If the funds were meant to be spent nationally, or in another projects, there is misappropriation of funds or embezzlement.
Politicians can also turn to demagoguery and rethoric to rile up support, instead of trying to win support with works or funds.
