REVEALED: The Worst Use of Taxpayer Funds Award for 2022 Goes to…
Rand Paul's 2022 report finds 'a whopping $482,276,543,907' worth of federal waste
Talk about bringing back the pork.
As the year winds down, it’s a perfect time to take a look at federal government waste. Senator Rand Paul has issued what he calls his Festivus Report – a reference to the show Seinfeld which featured a made-up holiday around Christmas time called Festivus which was the time for airing grievances – for 2022 where he lays out some of the most ridiculous uses of taxpayer funds of the year.
As reported by Fox News, Sen. Paul called out a nearly half TRILLION dollars in wasteful government projects:
"Paul’s 2022 Festivus Report is inspired by the Festivus holiday taken from hit sitcom 'Seinfeld' that features an airing of grievances, an appropriate model for deficit hawks like Paul who have watched the national debt explode by nearly $2 trillion in the last year. His 2022 report finds 'a whopping $482,276,543,907' worth of federal waste.
