It seems that the government goes out of its way to waste money. Apparently it's called job creation. http://list25.com/25-craziest-things-the-u-s-government-spends-money-on/
To study cow burps? $5 Mil for an FAA party? I read the link - it' absolutely sickening. NIH (National Health Institute) is one of the biggest $ wasters, but it just continues yr after yr after yr........ I remember when Obama was campaigning, "I PROMISE YOU NO MORE EAR MARKS!" Riiiight! Another bald faced lie....... that's what Obama excells at - lying......
I found this list much more entertaining: http://list25.com/25-most-ridiculous-quotes-from-the-republican-debates/
True, that one was very funny. I wasnt trying to poke fun at just one party, they all make stupid comments. Although I give the stupid award to Bachman on her John Quincy Adams comment. It is one thing if a candidate misspeaks or has a slip of the tongue but it is a whole other thing when they open their mouths and make comments showing ignorance on a subject. Again, Democrats and Republicans do this in equal amounts but the Republican primaries have given us some good ones.
That one is a real doozy, but the other real jaw-dropper is when he said the US Constitution was written 2,000 yrs ago........ this came out of the mouth of a Harvard grad/constitutional lawyer and the libs didn't blink an eye....
