Our public officials in Washington continued to spend tax dollars like a bunch of drunken sailors in 2011, leaving taxpayers with a nauseating $15.2 trillion national debt hanging over their future. But who truly stood out as the worst custodian of your hard-earned money last year? Cast your vote for CAGW’s 2011 Porker of the Year!
Chosen by CAGW staff from among the 2011 Porkers of the Month, the nominees are:- Energy Secretary Steven Chu - for weak oversight of the Energy Department’s loan guarantee program, which resulted in huge losses to taxpayers when solar panel manufacturer Solyndra, the recipient of a $535 million loan guarantee, filed for bankruptcy last September.
