Five and one-half billion dollars in tax money
is a big enough amount to hurt every U.S. family
that has to help pay it. Yet that much tax money
has already been poured into unnecessary federal
"public power" dams and plants.
The lobbyists for federal "public power," the
bureaucrats and the socialists keep pressing Con
gress to spend tax money like this, even though
there's no need for it. The independent electric
companies are ready and able to provide all the
electricity the nation needs.
Can't this waste be stopped? Yes—if enough
informed citizens will speak out publicly against
it. Will you help blow the whistle?
