Speaking of what they petty tyrants do for themselves, I would like to congratulate Governor Whitmer of Michigan on her new role as Head of Hogwarts. https://t.co/yiRMF7yFda — PolitiTweet.org

Rand Paul @RandPaul

It came up in the bill this week too when they spent $20 million to rebuild a runway for private planes on Nantucket. — PolitiTweet.org

Rand Paul @RandPaul

Your betters have spent a lot of this year reminding you the rules don’t apply to them. French Laundry dinners. Traveling for holidays while promoting restrictions for you, the stories seem to come up all the time — PolitiTweet.org

Rand Paul @RandPaul

I do this all day long, and I swear to God I don’t even know what that means. — PolitiTweet.org

Rand Paul @RandPaul

In my favorite WTF moment of the #Festivus Waste report: Your government spent $4.5 million to spray alcoholic rats with bobcat urine. — PolitiTweet.org

Rand Paul @RandPaul

The government is never content to just waste money normally. They have to really put their shoulders into it. So this year, the Defense Department spent $1 BILLION in funds intended for Covid relief on unrelated acquisitions. — PolitiTweet.org

Rand Paul @RandPaul

What’s next, government funding to get people to post more about their CrossFit and Keto programs? — PolitiTweet.org

Rand Paul @RandPaul

They spent $3m to interview San Franciscans about edible cannabis use. Really. They must not have spent a lot of time around people who love cannabis. You do NOT need to pay them to talk about it. — PolitiTweet.org

Rand Paul @RandPaul

They spent $1.5m to get Eastern Mediterranean kids to stop smoking hookah. Then they said hey, let’s go all out, and snuck a bunch of new rules about shipping vape products in the omnibus bill this week. — PolitiTweet.org

Rand Paul @RandPaul

They also spent $36 million to study why hair turns gray. I have a few theories on that, and they all have to do with being in the U.S. Senate with people who vote for the things in this waste report. — PolitiTweet.org

Rand Paul @RandPaul

So this year, while the petty tyrants in many of our states closed the schools (against all science), Congress said oh, we can do better than that. So they spent $25 MILLION to teach English to rural, unemployed Romanians. — PolitiTweet.org

Rand Paul @RandPaul

Ok, now that I got that off my chest, back to the waste report. — PolitiTweet.org

Rand Paul @RandPaul

Speaking of Treasury, I see Joe Biden says he intends to nominate Janet Yellen, former chair of the Federal Reserve to run the treasury. Talk about letting the fox in the henhouse. AUDIT THE FED! AUDIT THE TREASURY! AUDIT YELLEN AND BIDEN!! AUDIT EVERYTHING! — PolitiTweet.org

Rand Paul @RandPaul

It could have funded the Department of the Treasury for three years, not that we really want to spend that much at Treasury. — PolitiTweet.org

Rand Paul @RandPaul

It would have built TWO entire border walls with Mexico... — PolitiTweet.org

Rand Paul @RandPaul

What would $54 billion dollars of taxpayer money have funded if we had tried to use it properly? One example, it would have built 456,221 miles of road. — PolitiTweet.org

Rand Paul @RandPaul

The average taxpayer pays around $10,000 in taxes. That means they set the taxes of 5,471,368 people on fire this year. And that’s just want we could document in one little report, and doesn’t come close to counting the unconstitutional things Congress spends on. — PolitiTweet.org

Rand Paul @RandPaul

My #Festivus Waste Report is now an unfortunate Holiday tradition, though a shameful one, if most legislators had any shame. Why? This one report details $54 BILLION in wasted spending. — PolitiTweet.org

Rand Paul @RandPaul

Take Congress...PLEASE! They have really outdone themselves this year with the massive special interest giveaway disguised as a relief bill. It is a disgrace in both the level of spending and the process they used to try to sneak it through. But this week’s pork-a-thon isn’t new. — PolitiTweet.org

Rand Paul @RandPaul

I’m back with some more holiday cheer...I mean #Festivus grievances! — PolitiTweet.org

Rand Paul @RandPaul

RT @GovWaste: Sen. @RandPaul is right about wasteful spending ... but it's even worse than he says. https://t.co/7mesr9wgNV — PolitiTweet.org

RT @dcexaminer: .@RandPaul has 99 problems and government spending is definitely one. https://t.co/1DqxZSmCzs — PolitiTweet.org

RT @KYGOP: It’s here!!! Tune in to @RandPaul’s Twitter feed for this time honored tradition! Happy #Festivus! — PolitiTweet.org

ICYMI I joined @FoxNews this morning to discuss reckless spending and #Festivus https://t.co/WNz3N14SNn — PolitiTweet.org

Rand Paul @RandPaul

and while you’re here, check out my speech on the senate floor this week against this 5593 page wasteful monster of a bill, an early, live #Festivus airing of grievances: https://t.co/FYN3BblBb6 — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s my full waste report again, and I’ll be back with a few more later. https://t.co/BU1CjiZdgS — PolitiTweet.org

Rand Paul @RandPaul

Those are just a FEW of the worst. There are many many more. And of course Congress ADDED dozens more examples in just one hellish Bill this week. — PolitiTweet.org

Rand Paul @RandPaul

Researchers spent funds from National Science Foundation grants worth $1,557,083.00 to walk lizards on a treadmill. Read more here: https://t.co/BU1CjiZdgS https://t.co/JpYNdGij92 — PolitiTweet.org
