Tax Dollars At Work ( Any Wonder Why Taxes Are Going Up? )

Government is broken.......

With a $13 trillion debt, why is the Department of Justice spending money on parties and rollercoaster rides rather than investigating crime, drug cartels, prosecuting terrorists?Untold millions of your tax dollars are paying for recreation in the name of crime prevention: pool parties, rollercoaster rides, and police donut-eating contests. The idea is that fun activities keep kids out of trouble, build self-esteem and prevent crime.

 Pool parties maybe, but police donut eating contests?

Sen.Tom Coburn, R-Okla., estimates well over $100 million tax dollars over five years has been spent on recreation to fight crime. Coburn says poor tracking leads to questionable spending. At least $200,000 was spent for officials to attend conferences at golf resorts in Florida and Palm Springs, or a film festival featuring “Santa, The Fascist Years.”

I know with the way Government spends, a million is like a nickel but good grief!
And this goes back pre Holder so no one gets a pass. 
If they raise my taxes, I at least want a few invites to these pool parties (self esteem booster). I will pass on the donuts.....
