For Obama Administration, spending other people’s money is so much fun

Republican Senator Tom Coburn has compiled a list of some of the government’s more infuriating wastes of our tax money. These are some of the worst of the worst.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) will burn through $171,361.00 observing monkeys gambling to determine how to combat gambling addiction in humans. The NSF also flushed away over $200,000 of our money to understand why Wikipedia is sexist – really?

The (NSF) spent over 856,000 dollars to “teach mountain lions how to walk on treadmills as part of a research project whose aim was to better understand mountain lions’ instincts.”

Because the United States Coast Guard is no longer allowed to stop illegal aliens sneaking into our country by water, it has been given a new assignment. Now our Coast Guard patrols swank beaches outside of some of the country’s “most exclusive real estate” to stop uninvited guests from being party crashers. The cost of this folly is carefully hidden but even one of these assignments is too many.

Besides this outrage the Department of Homeland Security is also wasting $450,000 a year to buy its upper level managers memberships in state of the art gyms and spas in Washington D. C.

Homeland is also sitting on 56,000 vehicles they have purchased to make the auto industry appear to be thriving...
