Weekend Reading - "Wastebook 2012"
Unfortunately, those that speak out against it are often labeled "radical".
Now, what's wrong with that picture?...
U.S. Senator Tom Coburn publishes his "Wastebook 2012", lowlighting some of the most egregious examples of government wasting taxpayer's money:
"Dear Taxpayer,
Times remain tough in America. The number of people working has dropped to the lowest
level in decades. More than 23 million of our fellow citizens do not have good jobs, and wages for many others are stagnant and even declining. Families are struggling to do more with less.
But not everyone in America is living on a smaller budget. Washington politicians don’t even bother to give themselves a budget anymore. For the third consecutive year,
Congress failed to pass a budget. And, for the fourth straight year, these compulsive spenders charged more than $1 trillion to our national credit card, pushing us to a $16 trillion debt."
