Think Congress does not have much to show for itself this year? Think again. A new report from Senator Tom Coburn's office highlights dozens of examples of government waste in 2012. Included for the first time on this list: Congress. The very people looking into government waste find they themselves are wasteful. Coburn's report estimates $132 million of taxpayers' money was wasted on "the most unproductive and unpopular Congress in modern history." "The waste is unbelievable," says Coburn. "We're bankrupt, this country is bankrupt, and people just don't want to admit it." Read more and Watch the video here (Some of those items on the report are kind of funny. ... A talking urinal???!)

Really. Maybe I can get a tax write-off for donating $270.00 to their organization for gamepass. I will try it and see if I get audited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
