WASTE REPORT: Government Employees Cost U.S. $136 billion… EVERY MINUTE!

By Warner Todd Huston December 28, 2017

 After reading this new report, you might be shocked, but you will certainly come to understand clearly that the federal government has a lot of room for cutting.  The amount of spending pouring like an unstoppable wave out of the federal government is something that our founding fathers would find not just shocking, but un-American. And while you may imagine you understand the massive amount of money our government spends, I am guessing that the actual numbers will stagger even the most cynical American. Now, it is beyond question that some of what the federal government does is necessary and it is true that our civil servants perform critical duties for all of us. However, there is little doubt that there is room for cuts.  The political left, of course, claims that everything the federal government does is critical to the success of our nation. They imagine that every civil servant helps the “little guy” through his life by providing vital services.

On the other hand, the right sees much of what civil servants do as a drag on our nation and fraught with wasteful spending, not to mention unconstitutional.........To read more, much more, and it's shocking!....
