How Tax Dollars Are Being Spent

Dear Editor, 

Mr. Grcar asked, “where’s the rest of the money” of Rep. Swalwell. Perhaps if Mr. Grcar, and the rest of us, would look a little further into where and how our tax dollar is being spent, we’d think twice about who we send to represent us in Washington.

Forbes magazine, in a headline article titled, “Pork Is Back” recently revealed that there was over $368 million dollars in “earmark provisions” (I.E. pork spending) added by mainly Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to spending bills for some of their favorite “pet projects”. Pelosi added 200 million to a Natural Gas and Energy bill to pay for improvements to a park in her district. Little doubt Congressman Swalwell has his hand in the cookie jar also.

Please, keep this in mind when voting in the mid-term election coming up.
