Congressman Steve Russell has selected another ten examples of wasteful government spending and programs for his Waste Watch series. This edition claims the spending costs taxpayers $16.5 billion. The report targets federal agriculture spending.
“Another year has passed and another year of waste cutting opportunities stands before us. From fraud to mismanagement to poorly conceived but well-funded programs, our nation must address these issues. We have ended up in significant national debt by one careless decision at a time and we can get out of it by one good decision at a time. Our latest edition is a good place to start as we approach the Farm Bill reauthorization.”
