Dr. Paul Releases 2024 'Festivus' Report on Government Waste
- pazimzadeh 2y agothis guy sucks. most of it reads like it was written by chatGPT > The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) spent $419,470 to determine if lonely rats seek cocaine more than happy rats repeating the Rat Park experiment is a good idea > Congress spent $15 million to turn the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) into an unconstitutional force to prepare, file, and audit your hard-earned money > Burning $15 million to study a system that already exists in the private sector and is free to use? (xxi) Sounds like classic government waste. The xxi reference is wrong, goes to this https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sm1049 https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sm1049. Pretty sure the Direct File system is popular.
- slater 2y agoOh wow, I bet this will be an even-handed, fair, and agenda-less 'report'!
- slicktux 2y agoI always referred to Dr. Paul as his father Ron Paul! Best president we never had!
- arcmechanica 2y agoRand Paul, the optometrist? That guys an idiot.
- xnx 2y agoIt would be nice to have a reasonable discussion about what we collectively choose to spend money on, but grouping together zany examples distracts from the relative scale of each. $32K for "breakdancing" v. $90 billion (2,812,500x bigger) for "Ineffective Navy vessels".
