Rand Paul Releases Annual ‘Festivus’ List of Wasteful Government Spending
This included $4.8 million on influencers, $2.1 million for Paraguayan border security, a $12 million Las Vegas pickleball complex, and $32,596 on breakdancing.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) released on Dec. 24 his annual “Festivus” list of wasteful government spending in the past year.
“Festivus” is a reference from the iconic TV show “Seinfeld” where the late Jerry Stiller celebrated a holiday of grievances during the Christmas season.
