U.S. Senator Rand Paul today released a special ‘Festivus: Airing of Grievances for 2015’ edition of ‘The Waste Report,’ which is an ongoing project cataloguing egregious examples of waste within the U.S. government.
The ‘Festivus: Airing of Grievances for 2015’ edition highlights over 30 examples of wasteful spending, misplaced priorities, and bad management in the federal government that have cost the taxpayer more than one billion dollars.
Of the 31 examples amassed from the past year, a few high-points of the ‘The Waste Report’ include:
- an $850,000 foreign made-for-TV cricket league in Afghanistan,
- a $150,000 federal government agency yoga classes,
- a $450,000 climate change video game,
- a $250,000 trip for Pakistani children to attend Space Camp and Dollywood in the U.S., and
- a $104 million subsidization for millionaires to live in public housing.
