The federal spending thread
I've shared my first hand (and some second hand) experience for years on how poorly the government spends tax payer money. IIRC, my calculations I reached $600,000,000,000 in annual waste before I got tired of adding it up. Either you believe the waste is obscene or you're ok with it and don't mind giving the government more (of someone else's money). I figured I'd start this thread to discuss various waste large and small. I could post on this daily, but I'll probably confine it to the more interesting (infuriating) ways the government spends your money.
I came across a contract today that was a $14k award for fidget spinners.
