I guess we need every dollar possible for building howizers the Army doesnt want or need ….in Coburn’s state
Maybe it’s a generation gap thing. But the $3 million that went to UC Irvine researchers to study “Decentralized Virtual Activities and Technologies” has been branded one of the worst wastes of taxpayer dollars of 2010 by U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn, R-OK.
Coburn’s “Wastebook 2010“ — a blistering, 85-page romp through oddities in the federal budget — lambastes everything from the $1 million spent to put poems in zoos to nearly $1 billion wasted when federal workers hit the “print” button when they don’t need to.(See more from the report here.)
