The 2016 Congressional Pig Book is out and reveals our elected government official wasted…you ready for this…$5 billion dollars in tax payer money on ridiculous pork projects.

Check out a great video from Citizens Against Government Waste that explains exactly what pork projects are and why members of congress use them. Then watch a press conference held by the Citizens Against Government Waste organization about this year’s Pig Book worst offenders below.
