The federal government keeps finding new ways to waste money — from an a $495,000 exhibit about “smells” in Medieval times to a $500,000 study of fish bones found in Africa 500 years ago, according to a report issued Monday. The annual compilation by Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) turned up nearly 100 expenditures he described as either strange or wasteful. They included: $495,000 to create a Medieval art and “smells” exhibit. $180,000 to develop a new method of counting and tagging ducks. A $2 million study that found children don’t like eating food that’s been sneezed on. “We could have answered that question for less than $2 million,” Lankford said. If you’ve flown across the country at any point in... This $1.4M iPad app might be worst case of government waste ever The National Science Foundation devoted $200,000 to study 500-year fish bones in Tanzania to determine if there was connection between food and social status in that African nation. The NSF also funded grants worth $500,000 to dig up graves in Iceland. The National Institutes of Health spent $500,000 to send texts to chewing-tobacco users in rural areas to try to get them to stop. And the NIH spent $10 million to learn that stress is a factor in illegal drug use. Nearly $1 million was spent for art work at a new Los Angeles federal courthouse so one picture of Yosemite Falls could be cut into six pieces. In all, the report found $247 billion in wasteful and inefficient federal spending. “With $19.5 trillion dollars’ worth of debt, this is something that cannot be ignored,” he said. http://nypost.com/2016/11/29/the-federal-government-keeps-wasting-money-on-absurd-things/ _________________ Anarcho-Capitalist, AnCaps Forum, Ancapolis, OZschwitz Contraband “The state calls its own violence law, but that of the individual, crime.”-- Max Stirner "Remember: Evil exists because good men don't kill the government officials committing it." -- Kurt Hofmann
