CITIZENS AGAINST GOVERNMENT WASTE ANNOUNCES 'PORKER OF THE YEAR'

|

Dear Patriot, The results are in!   Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is the landslide “winner” of CAGW’s online poll for 2019 Porker of the Year, garnering 54 percent of the vote in a six-way race. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez earned this dubious award for introducing the “Green New Deal,” a plan that would bankrupt America, restrict individual freedom, and hand over vast amounts of power to the federal government. On February 7, 2019, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez introduced H. Res. 109, to recognize “the duty of the Federal Government to create a Green New Deal” through a “10-year national mobilization effort” to drastically remake the U. S. economy. The total cost of the proposal is $93 trillion dollars – more than quadruple the current national debt of $23 trillion. CAGW’s 2019 Porker of the Year silver medal winner with 25 percent of the vote is Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who was named CAGW’s May 2019 Porker of the Month for proposing “free” college and a taxpayer-funded bailout of all student loan debt. The other 2019 Porker of the Year nominees, in order of votes received, were: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) (16 percent); Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) (2 percent); Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) (2 percent); and Rep. Mike Doyle (D-Pa.) (1 percent). Our thanks to the many CAGW members and supporters who took the time to participate in this poll. We appreciate you casting your vote! Sincerely, Thomas A. Schatz, President  P.S.
