Apparently Ron “End the Fed” Paul’s son, Rand Paul, who is also a medical doctor like his father, having owned his own ophthalmology practice for 18 years, and has been a US Senator (R-KY) since 2011, releases an annual Festivus Report.
In the 2024 Festivus Report, he lists more that $1 trillion in wasteful government spending.
This year, I am highlighting a whopping $1,008,313,329,626.12. That’s over $1 trillion in government waste, including things like ice-skating drag queens, a $12 Million Las Vegas pickleball complex, $4,840,082 on Ukrainian influencers, and more! No matter how much money the government has wasted, politicians keep demanding even more.
Rand Paul, 2024 Festivus Report
Here are just a few more examples that both Democrats and Republicans (mostly the RINOs – Republican in name only) have approved; the good Senator goes into more detail for each in the report:
- Ghost Towns on the Government’s Dime: The federal government spent $10 billion on maintaining, leasing, and furnishing almost entirely empty buildings.
- A Pandemic Plunder: A Florida man stole $8 million in COVID-19 Relief funds to buy an island and more.
- Your Tax Dollars at Play: The Department of the Interior (DOI) spent $12 Million on a Las Vegas Pickleball Complex.
- Taxpayers Fund a Disinformation Index—But the Real Fake News is That It’s Useful!: The Department of State (DOS) wasted $330,000 to fund censorship of non-liberal and conservative media.
- Girls Just Wanna Have Funds: The Department of State (DOS) spent $3 Million for ‘Girl-Centered Climate Action’ in Brazil.
- When Bailouts Go Bust: The United States Department of the Treasury (USDT) granted a failed trucking company a $700 million pandemic-era loan.
- Who Needs Border Security Anyways?: The Department of State (DOS) spent $2.1 million for Paraguayan Border Security.
- Fauci Funded Feline COVID Experiments: The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) spent $2.24 million on COVID experiments.
- Spinning Kittens for Science and Motion Sickness: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) spent $1,513,299 on a study of waste and cruelty.
- Cat-Stipated?: The Department of Defense (DOD) spent $10,851,439 on Orwellian Cat Experiment.
Note, those last three might indicate some sort of feline fixation, and not in a good way, by some members of Congress.
