I know this list is a drop in the bucket, but it's indicative of problems with the entire $3.6 trillion. And this list says nothing about fraud like Solyndra.
Nobody, and especially not a community organizer, can manage a $3.6 trillion budget with any degree of accuracy or control. Our only solution is to drastically cut the federal government's power and revenue.

waterboy, although your poo-flinging example makes this a tough call, road king beat you by 7 minutes. Jeez, I wish Coburn would have run for prez. How long can we go on with these lunacies???
This is not the exception, this is the rule. My local state U has been running a study for 15 years on the habits of female social drinkers. Last week I posted a link to photos of an $11,000 local gov't art project consisting of a bunch of potted plants on top of a temporary construction trailer.
I predict a loud quiet on this thread from usual lefty troll suspects.
Just the other day I read that one federal agency pays $400,000 per year on employee password resets. (ie. "Duh, I forgot my password, can you please reset it Mr. IT Guy?")
That's just one agency. Does anyone else see the problem here?

So true. I tend to think that we are not going to learn until hit in the face with a brick by reality. And I think when it happens, it's going to make the recession of 2008 look like a cakewalk.
Sometimes a look back to a simple approach is what we need
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the
government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense
of taking care of them.

To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.
Too bad Cobern didn't include the stimulus money used to buy guns to sell to drug cartel members in Operation Fast & Furious. I know it was only approx. $10 million but hey, just think how much more money will be wasted trying to recoup them, investigating the people murded by them, crimes committed with these turning up at crime scenes, etc...!
Oh wait, maybe that was part of Obama's jobs bill?
