Questionable Government Funding Bill
Total wasted money so far:
UK:£850,196,000,000
USA: $98,000,000,000
Comments below contribute to the list of some of the many funding projects that the public feel is questionable. They feel that it is forcing extra load on taxpayers and such deals should never have been initiated.
If the rich want to use their own money for useless projects then they may, but with the common public saving every penny in the recession, they don’t need further burdenings.
Where is our money going?
Who knows? Much more appreciated would be a cut in taxes or spending in places where the money is needed. With the ridiculous funding projects shown below, it seems that the rock bottom economical situation in the world today is caused by deliberation of a party directly influencing the top dogs, perhaps with an evil cause.
