Merry Christmas: Rand Paul continues the tradition and releases the 2023 Festivus Report, citing $900 billion in waste
By Olivia Murray
It’s that time of year again! Time to celebrate the birth of Jesus, gather with family and friends, make gingerbread houses, go Christmas caroling, play in the snow, and… remind yourself how much your government absolutely hates you.
Don’t forget, every holiday season is also time for Rand Paul’s annual Festivus Report, and this year, for the ninth report, Paul highlighted nine hundred billion dollars in waste by the Festivites; from Paul’s opening segment:
This year, I am highlighting a whopping ~$900,000,000,000 of waste, including an NIH grant to study Russian cats walking on a treadmill, Barbies used as proof of ID for receiving COVID Paycheck Protection Program funds, $6 million to promote tourism in Egypt, and $200 million to ‘struggling artists’ like Post Malone, Chris Brown, and Lil Wayne.
Yes, you read that right. Our (literally) good-for-nothing government got us scammed out of our hard-earned money by pictures of knock-off Barbie dolls and AI-generated freakshows. See the pathetically unpassable images below, that could only be verified as “legitimate” recipients by the stupidest and most feckless Festivites on the planet:
