Waxman & Markey Designated May Porkers of the Month #pork

Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) has named House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-CA) and House Energy and the Environment Subcommittee Chairman Ed Markey (D-MA) its May Porkers of the Month. They are the ringleaders behind H.R. 2454, the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (ACESA), the Waxman-Markey bill. As the negative economic realities of the bill have become clear, negotiations have degenerated into a circus as Reps. Waxman and Markey frantically jump through hoops, adding and altering provisions to placate special interests and buy the votes of appropriately skeptical members of Congress from states which stand to lose if the bill passes. For cracking the whip behind this Cirque du Disarray and for ballyhooing a bill that deserves to collapse under the weight of its own faulty assumptions, byzantine structural flaws, and astronomical costliness, carnival con-men Reps. Henry Waxman and Ed Markey are CAGW’s May Porkers of Month. Read more about the Porker of the Month.
