There is a thread on this forum titled: "Obama to Boehner: 'We Don't Have a Spending Problem'
OBAMA!!!!!
These are SPENDING PROBLEMS!!!
Government auditors spent the past five years examining all federal programs and found that 22 percent of them --
costing taxpayers a total of $123 billion annually -- fail to show any positive impact on the populations they serve!
- spend $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.
- Amtrak snacks. Federally subsidized Amtrak lost $84.5 million on its food and beverage services in 2011 and $833.8 million over the past 10 years.
- Conferences for government employees. In 2008 and 2009 alone, the Department of Justice spent $121 million to host or participate in 1,832 conferences.
U.S. Senator Tom Coburn, M.D. (R-OK) today released a new oversight report, Wastebook 2010 that highlights some of the most egregious examples of government waste in 2010.
Dr. Coburn Releases New Oversight Report:
Why are OUR tax dollars being spent making sure Chinese prostitutes drink less or
estimating the number of Vietnamese male Prostitutes or pig poop studies, or this classic!!!
Amtrak spent $1.70 for every dollar it earned on food and beverage sales last year, leading to a loss of $84.5 million on the service, according to information provided to the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee this week.
Fast Track to Losses: Amtrak Records $834 Million Loss on Food Sales Over Past Decade
In case you still don't understand: Amtrak food & beverage charges $1 for food & beverages that cost them $1.70!!!!
YOU CAN"T DO that and NOT run up $84 million in losses per year!!!
Really are these NOT SPENDING PROBLEMS????
OBAMA!!!!!
