The list of government waste goes on and on. It is absolutely absurd the amount of money our government wastes. Somebody somewhere is going to have to step up and stop this theft. Our government has gotten so far away from its constitutional limits I don't know how we ever go back. Our government is out of control, and voters, especially progressive voters, seem complacent with this theft. Sooner or later the money train is going to barrel off of the tracks and American workers are going to be left holding the bag. Democrats don't care because they are the free stuff crowd. They have no clue what a budget is much less a balanced budget. I don't care how much you tax the rich, this wreckless spending is unsustainable. Americans better wake up and quit looking for a handout. Government has nothing to give. In order to give government has to take. Government cannot create wealth for you, but it can take it. Call your congressman and demand a balanced budget.

Now that is a good one!!

 

1.7 on studying malt liquor wow you can buy a lot of 40s for that money.

 

I'd have done all that research myself for half the money!

 

I'm not standing behind the accuracy of this article, but I don't doubt it either...

Senators accuse State Dept. of defying Congress with $500M UN climate payment

Two Republican senators are accusing the State Department of misusing taxpayer dollars by green-lighting $500 million for a United Nations climate change program without first obtaining congressional approval.

The senators now are demanding the department justify the “cloak-and-dagger” contribution to the Green Climate Fund (GCF) – even threatening legal action.

“Lawyers cannot replace the constitutional requirement that only Congress can appropriate money,” Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., said, adding that he’s demanding a “full legal analysis.”

 

This thread would be hilarious if it weren't so pathetically sad.

I'm still shaking my head about the guy that greenlighted a grant in Canada for someone to open a banana information booth in the Congo Jungle.

 

Cost of healthcare.gov; $1.2 BILLION
Estimates from major web developers to build a similar site? $10-100 Million.
As it turns out, an exec from the developer awarded the contract to build the site attended college with Michelle Obama.
Huh

 

Hell, I thought you knew that, I know that I posted that information many times, I now others did as well................did you know, that the particular company, was based in CANADA?.

 

Fucking Canadians, they can't keep their grubby fingers out of anything can they ?

I say we invade them right now ... that way I can get a free ride home lol.

 

On a more serious note though, isn't 1.2 billion a drop in the bucket when you compare it to the 18-20 trillion debt ?

Costs shelled out for administration is normally recouped quickly by people being able to be treated by doctors (and having their ailment corrected) thus cutting down on healthcare costs down the road.

 

Here is a good one for you, In Alberta, if you go to the doctor for a prearranged injection for anything like an allergy shot or whatever, the doctor is only allowed to charge 5-10 dollars for that ... yet if you ask the same doctor "is this going to hurt", they are allowed to charge a 40 dollar consultation fee if they answer you. Bottom line ... they always answer (sometimes even with a grin as they say "a little").

 

Who gives a fuck about Canada.

 

Ummmm ... 36 million Canadians maybe.

 

How many tax dollars do you think were spent/wasted by the fuckwads that helped hammer out the TPP ... which will never be ratified by most of the participating countries ???

 

317 million Americans dont.

 

Just what the fuck is .........TPP?

 

Trans Pacific Partnership which includes the USA and is a big deal.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Pacific_Partnership

 

You're right, it is a big deal..............A BAD.........big deal.

 

Fuck me silly ... I just looked at your "debtclock" and my jaw dropped and I got a shiver watching those numbers zoom by. At least a couple are in the "green" but it reminds me of a gas pump where the cost rolls by as the volume crawls up.
