Pork

Produced by Citizens Against Government Waste it details almost 10,000 pork projects in the Federal budget. Here are some of the lowlights:

Pig Book Oinkers

The Flushing our Money Down the Toilet Award

to Representative Vernon Ehlers (R-Mich.) for $1 million for the Waterfree Urinal Conservation Initiative.

The Taxpayers Get Stuffed Award

for $234,000 for the National Wild Turkey Federation in Edgefield, South Carolina.

Also included in the Pig Book is $100,000 for the “South Carolina International Center for Automotive Research Park Innovation” brought to you by my home state Senator, big spender Lindsey Graham. (Who I will never vote for again because he’s soft on immigration reform.)
