Independent Gazette: Slice of the Pork Pie: A Modest Contest (Win up to $500)

[groverblue]

Imagine winning a $250 million lottery, tax-free. Now, imagine winning that lottery 69,600 times, because that’s how much you’d need to match our current federal debt of $17.4 trillion. You’d need to live over 190 years, winning that lottery every single day, to match the debt our politicians have created. We’re talking just debt, not overall spending or future obligations. Needless to say, when the bill collectors come knocking it will be at your door. That is, of course, if we don’t have a currency collapse.

So, which of your area congressmen voted for such needless spending? Well, all of them: Rep. Tom Marino (PA-10), Rep. Lou Barletta (PA-11), and Rep. Matt Cartwright (PA-17). They all voted for deficit spending, and even included earmarks themselves. We asked each congressman a series of questions:

Did you read H.R. 3547 in its entirety prior to voting?
Why did you vote for H.R. 3547?
Who owns the Federal Reserve?
Who holds our public debt?

After several attempts at responses, all three of these congressmen (and our two Pennsylvania senators) refused to answer our questions. Their refusal, however, can be your reward. We are now holding a contest for our readers, in which you can win up to $500 by simply obtaining some answers to the questions above. To participate, follow the contest rules below. Good luck!
