Federal Waste in Abundance

President Obama and the Democrats in Congress are on  a spending binge with no appetite to cut expenses. The president claims sequestration means no White House tours, possibly cancelling the annual Easter egg hunt, closing a number of airport air traffic control towers and not sending a Naval aircraft carrier and its battle group to the Gulf. These and much more are nonsense decisions made by the administration, but  being done as a punishment to the

public to show Obama's  displeasure with sequestration, which, if you remember was his idea in the first place.
Look around the federal government and you can find all kinds of wasteful spending, that if would pay for sequestration five-fold.

Example:
The federal government owns or leases between 55,000 and 77,000 vacant properties. Vacant properties that cost big bucks to maintain. Billions could be saved by dumping these

properties.Read More: Vacant Buildings = $$

And there are other ridiculous spending items that could be gotten rid of. The federal government gives taxpayer money to any ridiculous cause and study that comes along. Recently we read where the Obama administration has dumped $2.5 million to find out why lesbians for the most part are obese, where gay men are not! Hello! Who cares!?

And how about this.........

I didn't know we humans had conflict issues with elephants...must be serious.

Another bit of Federal waste comes from the president himself. People in the government ranks are being furloughed because of sequestration. Meanwhile, the

president and his family are continuing their time honored tradition of taking lavish vacations, mostly at taxpayer expense. 

While Obama and his family spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on their own vacations, they can’t come up with the $20k a week for White House tours.

The president recently flew off to Florida for a long weekend of golf with Tiger Woods while Michelle and the Obama daughters took off for Aspen, Colorado. While many school age kids can't afford spring break trips because of the economy, Obama's kids reportedly are sunning in the Bahamas. And there is a family vacation planned in August at Martha's Vineyard...no

cheapy there.

 The Obama's would do well to consider the current economic plight of the country and the financial bind many Americans are in and tone down their extravagances. Instead, they consider themselves to be above the rest of us. There is a presidential get-away known as Camp David. You've been there before, go there again, Mr. President. The citizenry just might think more of you for it.

By the way...the United States is now $17 trillion in debt...we add $3.2 billion dollars to that debt EVERY DAY....Mr. Obama doesn't seem to care.
