It seems like every day I read about how government wastes money so I thought I would record them. Since I began this blog, I have been stunned by the amount of waste, fraud, and mismanagement I have found. I recognize that some government is necessary for any society to exist but without the "profit incentive" that we have in private enterprise, government continues to grow like a cancer and along with it the potential for abuse. If you ever needed a reason to limit government, just read some of the following posts.

Government Waste Adds Up

Here are some excerpts from a Newsnet5.com post on government waste:
  • More than 45,000 government-owned buildings are empty or half empty, according to the office of management and budget. It costs about a billion dollars a year.
  • Taxpayers spent $800,000 last year for congressional representatives to drink bottled water.
  • A program produced in India that’s funded with $20 million in taxes from something called the market access program. The market access program gets $200 million a year at the Department of Agriculture that subsidizes marketing for profitable U.S. companies overseas.
