Pork Anyone?
 

The "Congressional Pig Book Summary" is produced each year by Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW).

CAGW president Thomas Schatz said at the group's press conference, "Republicans and Democrats alike have shown a total disregard for the $521 billion deficit and $7.1 trillion debt." It is clear that our representatives and senators shamelessly pursued their pork -- with no regard for the economy.

Among the highlights:


$100,000 for a historic Coca-Cola building in Macon, GA

$200,000 for "recreational improvements" in North Pole, Alaska

$9,929,000 for projects in Iowa

$270,000 for livestock waste

$8 million for a viaduct in Ohio

$4 million for an "urban trail" in Baltimore

$2 million to buy a high-speed catamaran in Taxachusetts

$1 million for a parking lot in San Diego

parking lot is always handy...
