Senator Rand Paul hopes the incoming DOGE team will address the spending problem he highlighted in an annual report. Over $1 trillion in US taxpayer money has been frittered away on unnecessary, crazy, and outright repulsive projects, Senator Rand Paul believes. The libertarian-leaning lawmaker has urged the future administration of President-elect Donald Trump to tackle the problem. On Monday, Paul published his tenth annual ‘Festivus Report’, which outlined what he considers frivolous government spending. The senator advocates small government, since he believes that giving bureaucrats more funds inevitably increases inefficiency. ”This year, I am highlighting a whopping $1,008,313,329,626.12. That’s over $1 trillion in government waste, including things like ice-skating drag queens, a $12 Million Las Vegas pickleball complex, $4,840,082 on Ukrainian influencers, and more!” Paul said in the 40-page document. The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) awarded the Bearded Ladies Cabaret a $10,000 grant for its Beards on Ice performance, featuring “polar bears, drag queens, and a character dubbed ‘Nonbinary Parental Guardian Nature’,” according to the report.
