Notwithstanding the title of this post, I’m not writing about how the
government wastes foreign aid money in an attempt to bribe foreign
governments into supporting the United States.
Instead, this is a story about how politicians and bureaucrats throw our money down the toilet.
Let’s start by looking at some aggravating and nauseating example of government boondoggles.
- Forcing taxpayers to pay millions of dollars for pro-Obamacare and pro-IRS propaganda.
- Doing interviews – at a per-person cost of $6,000 – about erectile dysfunction and sticking the tab on us.
- Hiring bureaucrats to monitor school lunches and replace healthy turkey sandwiches with processed chicken nuggets.
- I posted three wretched examples of welfare state waste, including the fact that Uncle Sam has spent about a quarter-billion dollars on penis pumps in the past decade.
- Giving disability benefits to a grown man who wants to wear diapers and live as an “adult baby.”
- Squandering $400K on experimental underwear that detect cigarette smoke.
- Paying 35 times the market price for some Kindles.
- Throwing $100 million in the garbage by subsidizing a leftist bureaucracy in Paris that advocates for higher taxes in the United States.
