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!

The present government in the United States was established in the eighteenth century. Now, in the twenty-first century, it is time for reorganization of the federal government and improvements in the organization of our state, county, and local governments. The First Constitutional Congress established the Congress, the Office of the President, and the Supreme Court. Powers were granted to each of the three branches of the federal government. The organization of the state, county, and local governments was not mentioned in the Constitution. "Save Tax Dollars" presents data pointing out the lack of proper organization of state and county governments that has added a very large amount of government overhead and resulted in inefficient use of taxpayer dollars. Federal, state, county, and local governments have not followed tenets used in the business world to establish efficiency and effectiveness. Why are you paying for excess government overhead? Are you satisfied with the current government organization? Are you ready for a change? "Save Tax Dollars" provides data that supports reorganization of government to save you paying excessive tax dollars.
