CAGW has helped save $2.4 trillion since our founding. A government efficiency commission will help save trillions more.

The 2024 Congressional Pig Book exposes 8,222 earmarks costing $22.7 billion. Earmarks are the most costly, corrupt, and inequitable practice in the history of Congress. pigbook.org/reporting/pig-…

New op-ed from CAGW President @ThomasASchatz: The @USPS delivers at least one thing consistently. It has lost money in every quarter since 2007, even though its 2021 Delivering For America plan guaranteed that it would finally break even in fiscal 2023. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/294525…

Sen. Schumer is feeding at the trough and shoveling out billions of dollars in earmarks to members of Congress.

.@SenSchumer is pushing prolific amounts of pork-barrel earmarks.

Once again, according to President @JoeBiden in his #SOTU address, there is no government waste. #StateOfTheUnion

Five unelected bureaucrats cannot change federal law. Only Congress can “modernize the statute.” subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2023/0…

Under Chair Khan’s leadership, the @FTC has abandoned its mission, exceeded its statutory authority, and decided to stop mergers based on pure speculation they might be anti-competitive sometime in the distant future.

.@linakhanFTC is our September 2023 Porker of the Month for requesting a massive 37 percent budget increase.

"Giving the FTC another penny, more authority or more power is a terrible idea." My closing message on @RuthlessPodcast to conservatives on Capitol Hill:

Enjoyed the conversation this week on @RuthlessPodcast! Appreciate the fellas of the progrum allowing me to highlight @linakhanFTC’s radical plan to undo years of precedent and attack private industries.  youtube.com/watch?v=G2Gd8o…

I don’t know why any Republican would want to give this FTC any more power. There are no Republican commissioners. @linakhanFTC , who is the chair, is about as far left as you can go. More in my interview with @charliekirk11.

With zero backers in the @WhiteHouse and the @DeptofDefense, Congress has no business funding the alternate engine. cagw.org/thewastewatche…

Rep. @RobWittman is our July 2023 Porker of the Month for wanting to waste billions on an unnecessary alternate engine for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
