somebody must be rich on country bill

Haha my country just decided to spend six billion USD on new electric trains... and they JUST wasted about the same amount on diesel trains from Italy that really never ever worked.

Fucking governments.

Fish Processors of Idaho was given a $300,000 Value-Added Producer Grant by USDA to
create a website, print flyers and send the company?s owner to trade shows ?in places like
Boston and Chicago? to ?entice distributors to bring his caviar to the masses.?

Over $9 million in federal money was earmarked to a failing for-profit ferry verging on
bankruptcy, which very few people benefited from and a small town in Alaska did not
want

The government pays as much as $2 million annually in monthly service fees to maintain
about 28,000 phantom grant accounts that are empty and have expired.175
Each of these accounts have a zero-dollar balance and their authority to operate has
expired under law, yet because they have not been closed out, the federal government pays about $173,000 per month to maintain them

the cost to produce a penny in 2012 is more than two times its actual value

16.5 million using lifeline, giving them free cell phones costing tax payers 1.5 billion dollars a year?

$516,000 for a video game to relive prom week?

I will give you 2 squirrels from my back garden for half that!!
