Can we all agree this is terrible?

From Senator Paul Rand:
The federal government wasted Americans’ tax dollars as it...
 Bought an elementary school gym scoreboard at a 491% markup (BIA) ...... $13,000
 Sent international students to college for free (State) ............................... $15,825,000
 Studied the habits of online dating app users (NIH and NSF) ..................... $1,200,000
 Taught Lao to Laotians (USAID) ................................................................ $20,000,000
 Improved the quality of TV in Moldova (State) .......................................... $2,000,000
 Paid to teach social scientists how to apply for grants (NSF) ...................... $103,777
 Allowed the 1033 Program to be abused (DOD) ....................................... $2,711,255
 “Tested” whether social justice improves STEM education (NSF) ............ $649,773

The international student program is reciprocal... American students also participate in it....

It's also an excellent way to attract talented individuals...

Only mention it because if you remove it it cuts your number by more than a third...

This is only a short description of governmential waste of "taxpayers" dollars..the waste in reality is criminal, and one of the biggest scandals in government.

The media reported that New York City Mayor, Bill de Blasio, and his wife ( witch), wasted $1 billion dollars.

Mrs. McCray wasted $850, 000 million dollars on her thrive NY program, which was designed to help homeless mentally ill people.

Thrive NY, is a criminal Enterprise, and have endangered all New Yorkers, and have not be able to effectively address the domestic terrorism in the homeless population.

I can go on and on, in exposing government constructs incompetent, and waste of "taxpayers" dollars.

The question is these dollars"taxpayers", or the International Bankers dollars that is being wested, and subjecting the Nation to another depression, and or the fall of the dollar.

The grand total is less than a third of what taxpayers shelled out for the Idiot Pumpkinfuhrer to golf at his own resort. Every one of these expenses is a better use of tax dollars than that.

You haven’t said anything about Obama and his attack on the 1% that lasted close to a year and now that he is comfortable in his new status as a 1% himself you should have a comment.I remember how you agreed with him at the time ,so let him have it Kevvie.

"Government waste" is those things sitting in all those chairs under the capitol some.

Poor Kevyn and his TDS. He just can't help mentioning his President in every post.

American Vet

When we have major money problems at home, trimming of nonessential things has to occur. As much as I have good things about the student program, is that more important than other programs such as health care?

Kevyn

He isn’t attacking them he as most Americans feels they should pay their share of taxes, and I agree with him.

The problem is that "fair" is a very subjective term - and lefties want to have the power to determine exactly what they define as "fair". Are you opposed to treating people equally?

waltmoreno

Actually that’s just the tip of the iceberg. I remember an annual publication called The Pork Project or something like that that detailed billions wasted annually.
I also think Rand Paul should have included the impeachment fiasco - $3 million dollars.

This is just astonishing . . . and all the while we must borrow money to finance this kind of absurdity.
