Catherine “Kiki” McLean bills herself as a “true DC insider” who served as a surrogate for the Obama for America campaign” on her Porter Novelli bio page. (There’s a screen shot below, just in case.) It so happens that Porter Novelli won a $20 million contract to promote Obamacare at the expense of taxpayers....
The music videos and awards ceremonies of the GSA wasting taxpayer dollars that were in the news recently were just the tip of the iceburg.

Another day, another story of government waste. Today we find out that the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is planning a lavish trip to Hawaii at our expense.

The federal government has spent $18 billion on what they say are job training programs. So, what did we get for that $18 billion? Nothing. Unless you count trips to casinos, jobs for job trainers, and exposing children to asbestos. The 2011 Government Accountability Office study he commissioned, which examined programs...
According to a new report, the federal government has spent a whopping $70 billion on climate change since 2008. But we’re supposed to believe they can’t reduced spending. The Daily Caller has the details. Oklahoma Republican Sen. James Inhofe presented the new CRS report on the Senate Floor Thursday to make the point that the Obama...
What business is the federal government good at? Everything they touch turns into a money pit, so why would we think that the Department of Health and Human Services spending billions to finance new non-profit health insurers would be any different? Doug Ross asks, “What could go wrong?” I can think of a few...
One doesn’t even have to go looking for examples of the government wasting taxpayer money, there are so many. Like this one – a Canadian-owned solar plant in Nevada is set to receive up to $50 million in stimulus and it will employe 2 – yes 2 – full time employees. To make matters...
The Department of Energy needs a budget cut. Maybe they can cut it to zero so we can stop talking about how much money they’re wasting as the national debt spirals out of control. This is just unbelievable, they’re now spending $5 million promoting electric vehicles. You know, the ones that are so dangerous...
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is in China. It’s a good thing the crisis over the blind dissident didn’t derail her from getting China to sign on to a “Clean Cookstove” initiative to combat global warming. According to CNS News, the US government has already committed $105 million to the project. Are we borrowing...
I guess when the left says everyone deserves health care, they really mean it. In all seriousness, money from one of Obamacare’s slush funds was used to spay and neuter dogs. It’s part of an anti-obesity effort. They said that by spaying these dogs people won’t be afraid to walk around outside. I’m not...
Wind energy is supposed to be one of the magic bullets that will protect us all from global warming. That’s why the federal government has “invested” so much of our money on windmills. Well, oops!

No wonder the bankrupt “green” company Solyndra is handing out big bonuses to its remaining mnagers – they have their hands full getting rid of all of the toxic waste we the taxpayers paid for. So much for environmentally-friendly energy. The Fremont Fire Department’s Jay Swardenski oversees the cleanup. He said some materials, such...
The Obama administration had another Friday night news dump yesterday. They released $147 million to the Palestinians. I wonder who we’re borrowing that money from. Fox News reported the news this morning. American aid officials said Saturday they will restore development programs for Palestinians after President Barack Obama ended a six-month funding freeze that...
This is just funny. Mitt Romney recently criticized the Obama administration for blowing taxpayer money on failed or failing companies like Solyndra, Ener1 and Fisker Automotive.
