SPOTLIGHT ON SPENDING
Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has been named the 2020 “Porker of the Year” by Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW). The title is awarded to the politician whom CAGW deems most responsible for government overspending.
THE CRUX OF THE MATTER
– Sanders received the title due to his role in the passing of the $2.2 trillion CARES Act, which included provisions for direct payments to citizens, and his push for additional rounds of similar stimulus checks.
– CAGW criticizes Sanders for advocating for “socialist policies” that they believe would lead to increased government spending and intervention.
