Yesterday, I published my #Festivus waste report, which highlighted $54 billion in truly outlandish waste in government.

This is not waste, but planned spending.
The 1985 mover “Brewster’s millions” is about “a minor league baseball player who has to spend
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088850/
$30 million in thirty days, in order to inherit $300 million. However, he’s not allowed to own any assets, destroy the money, gift it, give it to charity or tell anyone about the deal”. It must be spent.
This is our Brewster Congress in action. In order to keep the dollar Ponzi scheme going, more debt has to be issued in the form of dollars at an ever increasing rate. Congress cares not what it is used for. Dollars given out in the US will be spent into the US economy. Dollars given out abroad will be changed into local currency and spent, and whoever gets those hot potato dollars will get rid of them quickly by also spending back into the US economy.
One need no longer ponder why Congress does this wasteful spending over and over. This will continue until the dollar collapses and some new paradigm begins.
I can’t decide which is my favorite.
I have some alcoholic rats in my family. I may even be one of them. Bobcat urine will not help, unless it makes a good mixer. Who cares anyway, where’s my stimulus check?

And folks actually wonder why some people HATE government. What’s not to hate??? State and local waste is equally as pathetic.
Some good news:

If you are employed by the government and get laid off, the government no longer pays you to work, but now pays you unemployment to do nothing. It sure took the government plebes long enough to figure this out.
BRAVO RAND PAUL !!!!
His full report is well worth checking out. Yeah, it’s quite long.
But,it’s very very easy to read, nicely formatted, nice use of color, pics, and graphs … and sectioned nicely, very easy to browse and skip around.
Really. It’s worth checking out. Really.

Wow … I had no idea that pasting the link would bring up the actual report.
Now you have no excuse. C’mon, man … check it out!
On today’s episode of “Stucky learns how to internet”…
Eat shit. Go read the article on female masturbation. Maybe you won’t be such an asshole afterwards.
Lizards on a treadmill? Ahh National Science Foundation grants committee hate to tell you but I think that was a piss take and you just handed them $1.5mil. You guys really need to leave the office more. Maybe I should apply for a grant.
