2010 Congressional Pig Book

[JBeukema]

There are 9,129 pork barrel projects listed in the “2010 Congressional Pig Book.” They represent a 10.2 percent decline from the 10,160 projects identified last year. “The reforms that were adopted when Democrats took over Congress in 2006 can be attributed to many years of work exposing earmarks,” writes CAGW.
Some of the more ridiculous pork projects in recent years have included $50 million for an indoor rainforest in Iowa and $500,000 for a teapot museum in North Carolina.
Even with a small reduction in pork, the CAGW found there is plenty left to outrage taxpayers whose money is being “spread around” to highly questionable projects
