$50,000 Paintings

You would think that a fine piece of art was being purchased for $50,000 a piece.  Can you imagine the beauty of such a work of art?  Of course you could until you found out what was really being painted:

"Taxpayers are funding paintings of high-ranking government officials at a cost of up to $50,000 apiece."

Now, are you surprised?  The government seems to think that the only way to keep an artist from starving is to throw money at them like a street beggar.  Isn't that what some artist have become - street beggars?  An artist that can't survive without government subsidies is not an artist.  Sorry to burst some bubbles.

Only today do we hear from Paul Volcker who is now suggesting a "value added tax" or federal sales tax along with carbon taxes over cutting government waste!  I thought they said he was brilliant.  Nope - he is just big government. 

Here is a better suggestion - cut spending, abolish the income tax and concurring amendment to the Constitution, and go with the FairTax.  But if they did that, then they would lose all power to control us - that is the ultimate goal of an out of control government is it not?

Federal Employees Wine and Dine in First Class

"The refusal of many federal employees to fly coach costs taxpayers $146 million annually in flight upgrades."

Why do federal employees fly first class anyway?  If they were that important they would not be working in the federal government - would they? 

Now, if these employees really want to upgrade to first class from coach, then they should be forced to pay the difference and for any expenses out of their own pockets - just saying...

The Pentagon Wastes Money? You're Kidding, Right?

How big were the two 19-cent washers that the Pentagon spent $998,798 on shipping from South Carolina to Texas, or $293,451 sending an 89-cent washer from South Carolina to Florida.  Or should I ask how big was the envelope?

Does South Carolina make special washers?  I want to invest in that company - it should yield a high rate of return.  

source Yes, I know these are coming from the same source, but what's the fun of reading them all at once.  I want to comment on each one of these to blow off the steam that continues to rise within me.  Government waste.....well, I will pray for forgiveness for what I may have been thinking.

Chinese Prostitutes

Some things make you mad.  Some things confuse you.  Other things leave you speechless.  What does this do to you?

"Washington will spend $2.6 million training Chinese prostitutes to drink more responsibly on the job."

 They do what?  Why are we spending that kind of money on prostitutes?  Is there a political connection here?

Real Change: The Fight for America's Future

Unused Federal Properties

Did you know that the federal government spends about $25 billion annually to maintain vacant federal buildings?

Just imagine how many people that can feed, insure, or how quickly we could turn our deficit spending around without that waste.  I wonder how much that property would bring to the government if it sold those properties?  What if the government just rented out the spaces at a very reasonable rate, and then applied that money to the federal debt?  Could young entrepreneurs find such a rental space useful?

Get a clue Congress!
