U.S. Senator Rand Paul today released a special ‘Festivus: Airing of Grievances for 2015’ edition of ‘The Waste Report,’ which is an ongoing project cataloguing egregious examples of waste within the U.S. government.
The ‘Festivus: Airing of Grievances for 2015’ edition highlights over 30 examples of wasteful spending, misplaced priorities, and bad management in the federal government that have cost the taxpayer more than one billion dollars.
Of the 31 examples amassed from the past year, a few high-points of the ‘The Waste Report’ include:
- an $850,000 foreign made-for-TV cricket league in Afghanistan,
- a $150,000 federal government agency yoga classes,
- a $450,000 climate change video game,
- a $250,000 trip for Pakistani children to attend Space Camp and Dollywood in the U.S., and
- a $104 million subsidization for millionaires to live in public housing.

That’s just pocket change to Republicans compared to their trillion plus dollar budget.
If they can’t find more dollars in waste than that then there is no sense wasting the time looking for it.
Just republicans, come on. At least a few of our brave politicians are putting some cash away for when their policies completely destroy the corrupt community we have become. To bad the other 315 million will be left to starve and die a slow agonizing death while they hunker down and laugh.
The fifthe one from the bottom — $175,950 for “Studied emotions and how people feel about the decisions people make for themselves” ………. that was submitted by Ms Freud!!! We just got the check a couple weeks ago.
Her next project is a comparative study “Do Austrians jerk off more than Choctaw Injuns”. She’s only asking for $300,000, but she can’t find a suitable Choctaw.
Unfrappin’ believable…..not that this is new.
Then we have the suckered everyday grunt vet trying to
survive after their 75 “immunizations” and their bodies
being attacked by depleted uranium “dust.”
Stucky makes a good joke…but somewhere someone
is submitting a grant proposal to study why dogs smell butts
to identify their brethren.
Looks like the tip of the iceberg.
B ob.
Meh.
I’m hoping the list takes several days to scroll through next year and that Rand skips it just because there aren’t enough years left in his life to go through it. That will be progress!
