Tax Freedom Day
Fox News
This past Monday was "Tax Freedom Day" — marking the day you finally stop working to pay your taxes for the year. Now the National Taxpayer Union has released its latest study of congressional spending — and notes that lawmakers voted to spend an average of more than $150 million of your money every hour they were in session during 2005 and 2006.
The average representative supported almost $290 billion in net spending increases — the average senator $357 billion. But the good news — both of those figures are declines of about 25 percent from the previous session of Congress.
