CBN News<\/a> is reporting today on the annual release of Senator Tom Coburn<\/a>‘s “Wastebook.” The book details some of the government programs funded by taxpayer dollars in the past year.<\/p>\n

Some of the examples listed in the article:<\/p>\n

…the U.S. State Department<\/a> spending $630,000 to attract followers to its Facebook<\/a> and Twitter<\/a> accounts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…a study on angry wives allowed the government to spend $300 million to learn that women would find marriage more satisfying if they could calm down faster during arguments with their husbands.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…in Nevada<\/a>, $17 million in tax exemptions<\/a> went to brothels. Deductions ranged from breast implants<\/a> to promotional free passes to bring in new customers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Fort Hood shooter<\/a> Nadal Hassan collected $278,000 in military benefits because the military Code of Justice doesn’t allow a soldier to be suspended until they are found guilty.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is disturbing that this spending is continuing while the retirement pay of our military is in danger of being cut. If Congress<\/a> can’t deal with this spending before cutting in places that will actually do harm to Americans, we need to elect a new Congress.<\/p>\n
