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.

Obama Releases $147M in Aid to Palestinians

President Obama announced this week that he would override Congress and end a six-month funding freeze that shut down the Palestinian version of Sesame Street and other projects.  The United States has contributed about $500 million annually to the Palestinians over the past decade, including millions to train security forces.

Palestinian lawmaker Abdallah Abdallah said the money "will definitely contribute to the betterment of the economic situation, but it's not a substitute for American wrong policy."  He derided the U.S. as "impotent" in criticizing Israeli policies like settlement construction in the West Bank.
