- $2.6 million to make sure prostitutes in China drink less on the job.
- $1.44 million in federal funds estimating the size of the population and examining the social milieu of male prostitutes in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
- Washington spends $25 billion annually maintaining unused or vacant federal properties
- Studying pig poop. The Environmental Protection Agency awarded a $141,450 grant under the Clean Air Act to fund a Chinese study on swine manure and
- a $1.2 million grant to the United Nations for clean fuel promotion.
- Conferences for government employees. In 2008 and 2009 alone, the Department of Justice spent $121 million to host or participate in 1,832 conferences.
_ The US Department of Agriculture has sparked outcry by paying $100,000 a year to a speaker who used compulsory diversity training to teach employees that
the Pilgrims were illegal aliens and that minorities should be called emerging majorities.
- U.S. government has spent $1.5 million to actually preserve some left during the hostile Indian occupation of Californias Alcatraz Island more
than four decades go. While the State Department saved money on security in Libya, it somehow managed to find $5.6 million in 2011 to support pressing
cultural preservation needs in dozens of foreign countries. Here are some of the dire projects funded by U.S. tax dollars that perhaps could be better spent on
securing U.S. embassies in hostile Arab countries.
- Uncle Sam doled out
$750,000 to restore a 16th-century tomb complex in India,
$700,000 to conserve ruins in Tanzania,
$600,000 for the temple of the winged lions in Jordan and
$450,000 for the conservation of a 10th century temple in Cambodia. Those were just the big ticket projects.
Hundreds of thousands more went to smaller causes throughout the world.
a Committee report released today revealed waste-cleanup recommendations from non-partisan Inspector Generals
working across the federal government, which would save taxpayers $67 billion per year, have not been implemented.
Backlogs of unimplemented recommendations have grown to 16,906.
President Obama should listen to the recommendations of his Administrations own Inspector Generals and work with Congress
to implement common sense spending cuts that target wasteful and poorly performing programs instead of settling for the furloughs
and service disruptions happening under the sequester.
Education and Transportation: We Have No Idea How Much Money We Spend on Conferences - Katie Pavlich
I mean do you REALLY think spending $2.6 million IN CHINA studying drinking habits of Chinese prostitutes is essential??
See this is where Obama is losing the majority of Americans who KNOW asking for more money is NOT the solution when the majority of Americans
payroll taxes for SS and Medicare are being used to pay for things like $750,000 restoration of an Indian tomb complex!
