Rand Paul releases annual ‘Festivus Report’ detailing billions in govt waste | Eastern NC Now
Waste in govt is never ending
For years now, Senator Rand Paul has been releasing an annual ‘Festivus Report’ to highlight government waste and this year is no different.
It’s amazing what the government spends our tax dollars on, while telling us there’s not enough money for other things, like a border wall for instance.

Maybe, but they are in no way as bad as you would want us to believe.

Bobbie, we are all entitled to our own opinions, but NOT our own "facts". If you really believe what you have posted, you must not have been near a grocery store or most any other type of store in quite some time. Bidenflation is wrecking American's spending power. You must also not have taken a look at any polls on the economy.
You far left Democrats are whistling past the graveyard with that fairy tale. |

Back on planet earth, things are going ok. The economy is good, unemployment down, stock market up. Unless your really really poor, JB has done a good job

We have a spendthrift federal government. Biden is the worst, but the spenders among the RINO leadership in Congress like Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, and McCarthy are almost as bad. We had a great Congressman in standing up for taxpayers in eastern North Carolina when we had Walter Jones, but RINO Greg Murphy is a real dud, caving in to the big spenders again and again. Murphy would not even stand up against the many thousands of IRS tax auditors Biden is going to unleash on the middle class. Taxpayers can do a whole lot better than Murphy in Congress. I read that a Libertarian has filed against him, and that might be the way to vote. I wish Murphy had a serious primary from a Walter Jones style Republican.

Here on Christmas Day 2023, I offer my conservative and substantive estimate of Rand Paul's level of governmental intelligence, which is simply: Rand Paul is quantifiably smarter than the next seven (7) smartest Democratic Socialist US Senators in total.
And this estimated with Ted Cruz waiting and formulating in the wings. This is just the "science" of it for all Democratic Socialists inured with their faux science version of their alternative reality. |

The biggest taxpayer ripoff of all was the massive funding of the green energy boondoggle, apparently named for all the "green" (money) it consumes while giving citizens more expensive and less reliable energy, while also making us more dependent on China for our energy.

Rand must be so much fun at parties. No wonder his neighbor punched him.
