10 Ways the Government Wasted Your Money
Published:
Actually, the full title of the video is "10 Ridiculous Ways the Government Wasted Your Money" but "someone" has to economize, right? I'm just tryin' to save Todd a kb or two of server space.
Besides, "ridiculous" is redundant when government, wasted and money are all used in the same sentence.

You could be the next best government watchdog
Remember in the 50's a deliberate-speaking, endlessly polite Southern senator in horn-rimmed glasses named Estes T. Kefauver. Chairing the Senate Committee to Investigate Crime and Interstate Commerce, the Tennessee Senator organized a barnstorming tour across the country, handing down subpoenas from New York to New Orleans to Detroit to Los Angeles and sweeping into local courtrooms to expose thugs, politicians and corrupt law enforcement agents and addressing the $$$ Millions of wasted taxpayer money i.e. government contract ordering K for a $12 for a basic carpenter's hammer, etc
Another Democrat, William Proxmire of Wisconsin, used to award a "Golden Fleece" to the most wasteful govt. programs. He also once held the record for attendance in Congress, I forget the particulars, but he went years without missing a vote, I believe.
Alas (such a corny word, but it fits here) there are no Democrats like those two men these days. The last good Democrat Congressman would probably have been Zell Miller of Georgia and although he was a bit too liberal to suit me, Bob Kerrey of Nebraska.
