Wastebook 2014: What Washington doesn’t want you to read.  That is right, these elected people are stealing from the American people and should go to jail –  every single one of them have committed fraud.  Anyone who accepted the  money for these scam projects should be arrested and be required to repay the amount.  Folks, you just can’t make up this stuff.

Voodoo Dolls, Gambling Monkeys, Zombies in Love and Paid Vacations for Misbehaving Bureaucrats Top List of the Most Outlandish Government Spending in Wastebook 2014

Gambling monkeys, dancing zombies and mountain lions on treadmills are just a few projects exposed in Wastebook 2014 – highlighting $25 billion in Washington’s worst spending of the year.  (Can you image wasting $25 billion when the American people are hurting?  The problem is that everyone that participated in this $25 billion heist should be sent to prison for stealing from the America people with borrowed money.)

Wastebook 2014 — the report Washington doesn’t want you to read —reveals the 100 most outlandish government expenditures this year, costing taxpayers billions of dollars.

“With no one watching over the vast bureaucracy, the problem is not just what Washington isn’t doing, but what it is doing.” Dr. Coburn said. “Only someone with too much of someone else’s money and not enough accountability for how it was being spent could come up  with  some of these projects.”

“I have learned from these experiences that Washington will never change itself. But even if the politicians won’t stop stupid spending, taxpayers always have the last word.”

Congress actually forced federal agencies to waste billions of dollars for purely parochial, political purposes.

For example, lawmakers attached a rider to a larger bill requiring NASA to build a $350 million launch pad tower, which was mothballed as soon as it was completed because the rockets it was designed to test were scrapped years ago.

Doesn’t someone has some explaining to do about this $350 million launch pad tower which was mothballed.  Who is the keeper of the purse – Congress and what oversite does it have?

Similarly, when USDA attempted to close an unneeded sheep research station costing nearly $2 million every year to operate, politicians in the region stepped in to keep it open.

And in the same vein why was this unneeded sheep research station kept open?  Where is Congress and the people who oversee all of this corruption?

Watch the Wastebook 2014 videos (two of them):

We elect these people to take care of our business and no one seems to care or if they do they are not speaking up.  After the initial video, I would recommend all of you watch each video of Tom’s, especially the term limits and the convention of states videos.  It is scary  to think the people we elect make such a farce of the Congress and the government in general.  Each elected official doesn’t take care of the business, their main agenda is work toward re-election.  We must stop this!

You must do what you can.  It’s not enough merely to exist.  It’s not enough to say, “I’m earning enough to live and to support my family.  I do my work well.  I’m a good father.  I’m a good husband.”  That’s all very well.   But you must do something more.  Seek always to do some good, somewhere.  Every man has to seek in his own way to make his own self more noble and to realize his own true worth.  You must give some time to your fellowman.  Even if it’s a little thing, do something for those who have need of help, something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it.  For remember, you don’t live in a world all your own.  Your brothers are here, too.  (Dr. Albert Schweitzer)
