Filed Under Taxes and Taxation, Unconstitutional Spending

Save the date! The little pink book that makes politicians squirm is back. The Council for Citizens Against Government Waste (CCAGW) will release the 2008 Congressional Pig Book at a news conference next Wednesday, April 2, at 9:30 a.m. EDT. The 2008 Congressional Pig Book features a complete database of pork-barrel projects in the federal budget and profiles the most egregious examples from the annual appropriations bills. In fiscal 2008, pork-barrel spending ballooned to 11,610 projects costing $17.2 billion. Press conference speakers will discuss the current state of earmark reform and what more needs to be done to stop Congress’ piggish ways. Scheduled to join CCAGW President Tom Schatz are Sens. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) and Reps. John Campbell (R-Calif.), Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), Tom Price (R-Ga.), and Paul Ryan (R-Wis.).
