I'm Peter Serefine and this is the Liberty Minute for Thursday, day 648 of 15 days to flatten the curve.

Senator Rand Paul has released his annual tally of wasteful spending, the Festivus Report. Senator Paul tallied $52.6 billion in waste this year.  With a federal budget in excess of $2 trillion, maybe $52 billion doesn't seem like much, so let's put it in perspective.  $52.6 billion could:

  • Build a 4 Lane highway from New York to LA five times or
  • Give $365 to every US taxpayer
  • Fund the Department of Energy for nearly two years.
  • Our national unfunded liabilities exceed $123 trillion and Congress studied the effects of junk food on kids.

    The DOD spent $549 million on aircraft that they ended up selling as scrap for $40,000.  Crackheads make better financial decisions.

    Until tomorrow, protect your liberties.  Once they're gone there's no getting them back.
