Unfortunately, this sort of government waste has been going on since forever.
It was the impetus behind Senator Proxmire’s ‘Golden Fleece Awards, beack in 1975, and he wasn’t the first to take note.
(I’m not making excuses for it. Just sayin’)
Might be an excellent idea for the Trump administration to reach back and revive Proxmire’s “Golden Fleece Award.” It’s such a target rich environment now, there would have to be an elaborate nomination process, or maybe category winners like the Oscars.
