Porker of the Month

Porker of the Month is a "dubious honor given to lawmakers, government officials, and political candidates who have shown a blatant disregard for the interests of taxpayers."

You can go to the "Porker of the Month Hall of Shame" and also nominate one of your own choice!

Citizens Against Government Waste knows that publicly shaming these politicians is the only way to get them to stop wasting taxpayers' money.

It IS a shame that the party of limited government (a very good thing) has turned into what is known as "Rockefeller Republicans" instead of what they should be which is "Reagan Republicans" (far closer to their platform). Democrats are historically the big spenders, though, don't forget that.

The problem started when people began expecting things--everything!--from the government. If you can't see where this eventually must lead, then you aren't thinking. But politicians have to get elected and re-elected so they are caught in the trap: they must start giving you things or they won't get elected. In order to "give" you things, they must take the money from all of us and redistribute it.

This goes against human nature and has always failed wherever it was tried...but this is the path we started on after the Great Depression.

And don't forget how much it costs just to move the money around (about 70 cents out of every dollar) not to mention the sheer bloated inefficiency of ANY bureaucracy!

Every time you give up your power to choose, you lose.
