The amount of money that the government wastes is absolutely horrifying. Do you remember all of that political wrangling over the debt ceiling deal last year? Do you remember how our politicians told us that there were cutting spending as much as they possibly could? Well, it was all a giant lie. As you will see below, the U.S. government is spending money on some of the most stupid things imaginable. What makes all of this even worse is that we are going into enormous amounts of debt in order to pay for all of this. We are borrowing billions of dollars a day in order to pay for stupid stuff that no government on earth should ever be paying for. Trust me, you are going to find it hard to believe some of the stuff in this list. It is almost inconceivable what our politicians are doing with our tax dollars.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi swung by CNN’s State of the Nation to assure America that austerity has run its course, the budget has been cut to the bone, and there isn’t a penny left to pinch from Uncle Sam’s moth-filled wallet. “The cupboard is bare. There’s no more cuts to make,” Pelosi gibbered. “It’s really important that people understand that. We all want to reduce the deficit.”
And since there’s not one thin dime of waste, fraud, abuse, irresponsible spending, or unconstitutional power left in Washington, you know what that means. Time for these ridiculous Democrats to slip into their deficit-hawk costumes and begin yelling about tax increases again. There might not be any more room for spending cuts in the federal budget, but we can always squeeze a few more bucks out of the private sector, no matter how long Barack Obama’s economy floats face-down in the sewers of flat GDP growth and high unemployment.
For people of Nancy Pelosi’s mindset, the private sector can never be small enough. The equally unhinged Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, just went on another tear about how opponents of ObamaCare are “anarchists,” a term he deploys against anyone who thinks a multi-trillion-dollar government living thirty or forty percent beyond its means might be a wee bit too plump. “We’re not going to bow to Tea Party anarchists who deny the mere fact that ObamaCare is the law,” sneered Reid. “We will not bow to Tea Party anarchists who refuse to accept that the Supreme Court ruled that ObamaCare is constitutional.”

Pelosi: 'There are no more cuts to make'
By Rick Moran
Maybe after we read the budget ( she also said that about ObamaCare, remember?), we'll actually find out what's in it and be able to find a dollar or two we don't have to spend. But really, how silly is this. A $3.7 trillion budget and every dollar is necessary for the smooth functioning of government and the flow of services to the people? Delusional thinking is not confined to one side of the aisle. Politico: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi says that while deficit reduction is a laudable goal, there are precious few spending cuts left to negotiate in exchange for raising the debt ceiling. "The cupboard is bare," the California Democrat said in an interview aired Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union." "There's no more cuts to make." "We all want to reduce the deficit," she added. "Put everything on the table, review it, but you cannot have any more cuts just for the sake of cuts. Right now you're taking trophies." Pelosi said raising the debt ceiling is "an issue that really shouldn't be a conversation," defending...
PS: I'm just getting started on this 'Thread' there'll be plenty more to come since "WE" run out of money Dec. 11 and the congress will ask for a budget increase.
