If Swamp bureaucrats merrily chirp, “Happy Holidays,” they are not referring primarily to Christmas, Kwanzaa, or even KuchuQwanzaa, but to the most delightful of all holidays for our federal overlords, Festivus. Countermoonbat Senator Rand Paul marks the occasion with his annual Festivus report:

“This year, I am highlighting a whopping $1,008,313,329,626.12,” Paul, R-Ky., wrote in the report. “That’s over $1 trillion in government waste, including things like ice-skating drag queens, a $12 million Las Vegas pickleball complex, $4,840,082 on Ukrainian influencers, and more!”

Even as Americans in North Carolina remain homeless 3 months after Helene, a firehose sprays our money at other countries:

The State Department spent $500,000 to expand the U.S. Embassy in Ethiopia’s #USInvestsInEthiopians social media campaign to a larger national public relations campaign, according to the report. The State Department also sent $253,653 to Bosnia to fight “misinformation,” spent $2.1 million for Paraguayan border security, and spent $3 million for “girl-centered climate action” in Brazil, the report says.

At least our moonbat rulers are advancing The Science:

The Department of Health and Human Services spent $419,470 to determine if lonely rats seek cocaine more than happy rats, the report states.

The National Science Foundation spent $288,563 to ensure bird-watching groups have safe spaces, also known as “affinity groups,” according to the report.

Don’t pay federal taxes? If you hold US currency, you’re on the hook for this anyway, compliments of inflation. The federal debt has skyrocketed past $36 trillion. Greedy as they are, not even DC bureaucrats can confiscate our money as fast as they waste it. So they print more.
