Now does anyone honestly think we don't need DOGE?

I wonder how much they laughed when they came up with these ridiculous titles, When they actually just meant , look at us stealing and getting away with it.

They ROTFLTAO all the way to bank.
It's not the ridiculous titles, it's that they thought, "That sounds like a great idea, lets do that" and then the bills with those titles got passed without anyone asking, "You want how much money to do WHAT?"

This one for instance, Sprayed alcoholic rats with bobcat urine (NIH and VA) ....$4,575,431.00
Now I can see how easy it would be turn rats into alcoholics. Just keep putting a little beer or wine in their water in ever increasing amounts or mix into their food.
But how the heck did they get the bobcat pee? Did they follow them around in the woods with a jar? Did the go to the local zoo and say, Hey, we need a gallon of fresh bobcat piss? And how did they get the bobcats to go in the jar without the bobcats tearing the heck out of them? And finally, why would you want to turn rats into alcoholics and spray them with bobcat pee in the first place? Did anyone ask the rats what they thought of the idea?

Gr...Where did you get this list from ??

They are from the Festivus Reports that Rand Paul puts out annually every December.

And they can't repay all the money that was taken from Social Security, but they find a way to take with these ridicules so called programs. Open your eyes and ears lefties!

Annual amount of gov't waste for each year of Festivus Report.

MD, you KNOW that will NEVER happen. Their focus is sex/gender and mass control. It was evident in the leadership announcement just 2 days ago on TV. It is all they have and all they know.
