And we want to hand over Health Care to the Government!

Ever wonder how much of our tax dollars goes to waste? Here is the top 50 report put out by the Heritage Foundation. Some facts from Brian Riedl; just cruise the list and hang onto your wallet!

My vote for the worst are numbers 8, 9, 11, 21,and 22.

Numbers 23, 29 and 41 should frost you too...soaring government spending and trillion-dollar budget deficits have brought fiscal responsibility – and reducing government waste – back onto the national agenda.

President Obama recently identified 0.004 of 1 percent of the federal budget as wasteful and proposed eliminating this $140 million from his $3.6 trillion fiscal year 2010 budget request. Aiming higher, the President recently proposed partially offsetting a costly new government health entitlement by reducing $622 billion in Medicare and Medicaid “waste and inefficiencies” over the next decade. Taxpayers may wonder why reducing such waste is now merely a bargaining chip for new spending rather than an end in itself.

Read the rest of the horrific details at "Government Fraud and Waste Report" today.
