The federal government wastes your tax dollars worse than a drunken sailor on shore leave. The 1984 Grace Commission uncovered that the Department of Defense spent $640 for a toilet seat and $436 for a hammer. Twenty years later things weren't much better. In 2004, Congress spent a record-breaking $22.9 billion dollars of your money on 10,656 of their pork-barrel projects. The war on terror has a lot to do with the record $413 billion in deficit spending, but it's also the result of pork over the last 18 years the likes of: - $50 million for an indoor rain forest in Iowa - $102 million to study screwworms which were long ago eradicated from American soil - $273,000 to combat goth culture in Missouri - $2.2 million to renovate the North Pole (Lucky for Santa!) - $50,000 for a tattoo removal program in California - $1 million for ornamental fish research Funny in some instances and jaw-droppingly stupid and wasteful in others, The Pig Book proves one thing about Capitol Hill: pork is king!

One of the most powerful tools available to boost the incomes of the working poor is the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). [...] Almost all of the benefits of the credit would accrue to taxpayers in the form of a refund. [...] Estimates suggest that the cost of administering the federal credit is approximately 5 one percent of the programs costs, extremely low compared to administrative costs of other income support programs such as CalWORKs and Food Stamps.11 Californias Franchise Tax Board previously administered a refundable renters tax credit and a refundable child care credit was established as part of the 2000 bud. [...] Administrative costs attributable to the added workload of the renters tax credit were less than one percent of the total cost of the credit.12 Recent changes to the federal EITC have helped ensure that the credit is only claimed by eligible fami- lies. [...] In response to this criticism, the IRS now requires taxpayers to submit Social Security numbers for all parents and children claiming eligibility for the credit; imposes strict scrutiny of returns filed claiming the EITC; and has changed the rules which allowed taxpayers to claim the refundable portion of the EITC as a rapid refund.
