It's actually pretty funny:

From a $20 billion bailout for Argentina to continued funding for global health programs through waivers, Washington
found new ways to keep the cash flowing. And with every new handout, the mountain of debt grows even higher.

For the first time in 50 years, President Trump deployed a pocket rescission, cancelling $5 billion in foreign aid and
international organization funding. While it’s a good start, it’s just a drop in the bucket. The Congressional Budget
Office predicts we will add an average of $23.9 trillion in debt annually for the next decade. The U.S. government will
add over $6.53 billion of debt every single day for the next ten years. We borrow over $272 million every hour, we
borrow $4.54 million every minute, and we borrow over $75,000 every second.

This year, I’m spotlighting a jaw-dropping amount of government waste — the kind that makes you wonder if anyone
in Washington has ever heard the word “priorities.” A grand total of $1,639,135,969,608, which includes $1.22
trillion in interest payments on the debt.

We discovered cash going toward experiments teaching ferrets to binge drink alcohol and dosing dogs with cocaine
(again). Then there were taxpayer dollars spent on safe spaces at a private university. It wouldn’t be a Festivus
Waste celebration without mentioning the $2.1 million spent for researchers to collect saliva samples and survey
partiers at EDM clubs and festivals in New York City about their drug use. White Coat Waste helped us uncover
hundreds of millions of your hard-earned tax dollars funding labs, gain-of-function research, and brutal experiments
on dogs, monkeys, and rats. That includes over $13.8 million on beagle experiments, $14,643,280 to make monkeys
play a “Price Is Right”-inspired video game, and so much more.

No matter how much taxpayer money Washington burns through, politicians can’t help but demand more. Fiscal
responsibility may not be the most crowded road, but it’s one I’ve walked year after year — and this holiday season
will be no different. So, before we get to the Feats of Strength, it’s time for my Airing of (Spending) Grievances.
I’ve got plenty of bones to pick with reckless federal spending, and now you’re going to
hear every one of them.

Happy Festivus!

More COVID Panic Theatre: HHS spent over $40 million on influencers to promote getting
vaccinated against COVID-19 for racial and ethnic minority groups.

Pandemic Profiteering: The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) gave EcoHealth
Alliance $54 million to collect bat coronaviruses and transport them to Wuhan for gain-of-function
experiments.

Fauci’s Beagle Labs Live On: NIH extended funding for Dr. Fauci’s beagle experiments, costing
taxpayers $13.8 million.

COVID Cash Grab: Schools received nearly $200 billion in COVID relief funds, which was wasted
on things like rooms at Caesars Palace, renting out MLB stadiums, and ice cream trucks.

He's such a disingenuous cock sucker.
He puts out this list and grandstands in Washington. But when many people put forth solutions, he never leans in and helps. In fact he gets petty and jealous and goes on every news talk show to throw shade at any effort by others to do things, he pretends to give a fuck about.

He's on my primary wish list.

DOGE was his moment to shine, he should have leaned in to the point he hijacked it. But the best he could do, is go on Sunday talk shows and say how undemocratic it was to deny money Congress appropriated to programs.

What solutions? He asked to cut the spend, it was all Trump screaming for BBB and bloated Biden spend levels.

You might not realize it, but I'm sure Rank Sprawl, does.
If NOT for the BBB, the Lefties would be stopping Trump cold in his tracks, screaming how Congress did not appropriate spending for any of the Immigration, Venezuela and law enforcement actions around the country. The Big Beautiful Bill, was to give him capitol to do what he needs to get done, without petty squabbles. It is why they are using corrupt judges to stop him and not Congress. Congress agreed to the BBB because they thought the money would be spent on immigrants and illegal voters. They didn't realize, Trump would deport them before they could enjoy the benefit of their plan.

More over, just because money is allotted in a Bill almost never means every cent of it gets spent before the bill expires.

Rand Paul is in no position to be undermining and second guessing Donald Trump. The little Bitch Ass son of a Bitch. I wish his Pa would slap the shit out of him, for Shitting on Ron Paul's presidential run. He's a petty nasty fucker. At this point I respect Mitch McConnel more, at least Mitch doesn't pretend to be on our side.
