The annual Festivus Report was released on Friday by Senator Rand Paul who reveals that nearly half a trillion dollars was wasted by congress on illegal migrants, experiments on animals and useless studies.
Paul’s report found that “a whopping $482,276,543,907” of taxpayer money was wasted,
“Who’s to blame? One need not look further than the $3.5 trillion that the big government politicians in Congress spent on the so-called Inflation Reduction Act, which ultimately does nothing to truly combat rising inflation rates. Worse, those same big spenders have just teamed up to pass a pork-laden $1.9 trillion omnibus spending package for 2023, released in the dead of night, and voted into law without anyone having read it.”
Sen. Paul details how $475 billion was paid in interest on the nearly $2 Trillion national debt, and the $31 million dollars of Covid Relief funds that went to buy luxury cars. The report also revealed that $168 million was spent helping illegal migrants avoid deportation ($1.1 billion since 2008) in the midst of a crisis at the southern border, “Providing hundreds of millions of your hard-earned dollars to help illegal immigrants actively skirt our immigration laws. What border crisis?”
The report also exposed disturbing details of abusive animal experiments in which $3 million in grants was given to watch hamsters, that were injected with steroids, fight and another $2.3 million was spent to inject beagle puppies with cocaine. That study is reminiscent of the abusive study conducted by Anthony Fauci’s NIAID which provided funds to a study which tortured beagle puppies by trapping their heads in in mesh cages so sand flies could bite them.
The federal government, according to the report, wasted nearly $2 billion on upkeep for empty federal buildings and even spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on espresso machines by the Department of Defense,
“At least Americans can rest assured that our military personnel will be perky and energetic even as they pour American taxpayer dollars – and perhaps a few overpriced coffee grounds – down the drain.”
And although it sounds like a joke, the report asserts that the National Science Foundation (NSF) spent $118,000 to study whether the Marvel Character Thanos could snap his fingers while wearing the Infinity Glove which they determined probably wouldn’t work.
“Seems they discovered what they set out to learn, but at what cost? To paraphrase Captain America, the NSF is not looking for forgiveness for wasting American taxpayers’ hard-earned money, and it’s way past asking for permission.”
