And we have veterans still waiting to see a doctor???
In August, more than 8,000 requests for care had wait times longer than 90 days at the Phoenix VA, according to documents obtained by CNN, but whistleblowers say delays like these are not accurately reflected in public data because of changes in the VA's method of measuring wait times.

"The VA central office enables an official line that's not consistent with reality," the source in Phoenix said.

A couple of years ago, we had 800K set a-side for a scientist to see if he could train a lion to run on a treadmill. Its ridiculous.

$5 million for NOTHING!!!
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spent almost $2 million to pay nearly 100 employees not to work and more than $1 million to lease unneeded spare vehicles.
DHS also handed out $3 million to the owners of party buses, including one described as a “nightclub on wheels,” and luxury coaches to escort socialites and vacationers to the playground of the rich and famous.


$2.37 million for blueberries!!!
Blueberries can be bruised or even squashed during harvesting. Because these damaged berries aren’t suitable to be sold in the produce aisle of the supermarket, they end up being sold at a lower cost for use in “processed foods – like blueberry muffins.”1359

As part of a $2.37 million, four-year project funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the University of Georgia’s College of Engineering is utilizing a “Berry Impact Recording Device” (BIRD) to take a closer look at the bruising lives of blueberries with the goal of developing a gentler harvesting system.

Speaking of Michelle.. more government waste via her school lunch dictates!
The law Michelle lobbied for was the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act – which not only required the removal of snack food, but limited the calorie intake of students to 750-850 calories – regardless of involvement in after school physical sports and activities.

Already, local school boards are furious about the rules, as they are forced to offer lunches that students don’t want to buy, with cash-strapped schools wasting money trying to comply. In one place, the problem of unsold food was so bad that Michelle Obama’s lunches are being fed to farm pigs.
