12 examples of government waste

Last month Senators and Congress-people stood on the Capital steps, sang Amercia the Beautiful, then went home.  Nothing accomplished. How much does it cost us for these morons to fly to D.C. (yes...taxpayers pay for that) then sing a song. How much does it cost for these fools to assemble and name a post office and nothing else? All their bloated salaries, enhanced medical coverage, self inflated "retirement" incomes, Congressional dining rooms, paid by the taxpayer. I think the doggie hair-do is a better deal. 

Ok, i just want to remind everyone that the wasted money the US. spends gives someone a needed job. Also the money is not tax payers money we just print it, one might say that a bad thing, but we have printing a lot of money in the last 4 years. Does anyone think that effected us at all. The US can not repay back the money we own now, so what the difference if we just make more? Money makes most things a lot better, so we to keep making more, it does not effect us at all. Just look at interest rates very low right? The more we print the lower rates go, So I say keep printing big time and give it out to all the more the better.   KEEP THE PRESSES ROLLING

I keep chuckling; there is a way to get the national debt paid off and to have mass money to run our country with. It’s just that those who could actually make it happen are the ones that it would cost the most.

If $10 or $10,000,000 gets spent by a politician, the groups for or/and against that politician, PAC’s, corporations, groups  or paid individuals trying to influence the vote of a politician or private individual, The money spent would be matched dollar for dollar into the public funds. If it is a district vote. The money goes to pay off the district debt. City vote, city debt. County vote, county debt. State, state. Federal, federal. When the debt is all paid, just think of the money to have the best schools, roads, parks and country in the world.

Just saying …

Wow, we are not United in the U.S., different State Reps/Senators cater to their rich/connected constituents to give them whatever they want (no matter how much money they have at their disposal), we know the Gov't is giving grants and other monetary concessions to certain states and other countries for frivilous projects (or Technological projects to aid in destroying our planet/health/lives)​, we are encouraged to vote (for the lesser of 2 evils) for people that the rich/connected support, and for me to be a so-called informed voter, I would have to make it my full-time job to research/investigate​ the person/their morales/political stance. I used to write to my local and state leaders about issues that would negatively/positivel​y affect me/commumity/nation to no avail (common sense is dead). So, don't tout to me about my right to vote and I should be involved in the political process when the little guy really has no real say/influence on really important issues, they tack stuff onto bills that are not relevant, and so many other under-handed goings-on. Someone please teach me to write a grant (the right words to say and how to interpret the confusing forms) so I can get some 'free money' so I can do some real good in my community/state/coun​try. Keep your personal life out of politics (abortion, gay, etc) and focus on the fact that employers are demanding things of us that should not be (has nothing to do with our being a dedicated and fruitful employee), I make $2 more than the poverty level so I can't get public assistance when I need it (I've worked hard most of my life and have only asked for food stamps/medical care when I was fired from a job for being 'too productive and not having a degree to move on to another level in the company), giving our country and jobs away (and awarding the companies that do so) on and on............ The Government behind the U.S. Government is who is running things for their own selfish, prideful, sadistic, monetary gain. Let's revamp the whole thing, all the archaic laws on the books, confusing terminology and legalise speak, and run the Gov't like a business (do well, get paid and advance, qtrly evaluations, actual audits to track productivity/how much money came in and where was it spent, fire those who blatently screwed up). And what does my credit score have to do with my being considered for employment anyway? Why does my marriage certificate not count to prove I'm married so my spouse can be added to my health insurance that I'm paying so much for? On and on about the real deal. Let the politicians try to live on the amount of money the little guy racks in (minimum wage being raised would hurt the economy? really...the poor CEOs won't get their millions....awwww) This world system is full of crap and I'll be glad when it ends.

Did any of you vote to re-elect any of the asshats that take money from you at the point of a gun if necessary and spend it like this?

 

These are small potato examples, the problem is that there are thousands of programs like this.

 

I won't even mention the big stuff

Everything is getting more expensive - groceries, gas, health insurance, child care, etc.  and we are getting asked to pay MORE taxes for the government to waste more money?!  I cut coupons and shop smart so that I can save money for my household as I am sure most people do.  But look at how our government is spending OUR hard earned $ we spend in taxes.  They are just wasting it!  It is so sad....

I guess Coburn only mentions the waste he doesn't like. These examples are nothing compared to the waste at the pentagon.

ted nugent save us, we are doomed, i guess ill assume the position and take it in the **** , good bye cruel world.
