Festivus Report by Tom Reynolds
Let’s finish the old year in a way that aptly summarizes the year under the guidance of the Biden /Harris administration.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) shared his annual “Festivus” report, showing Americans how some of their tax dollars were tossed down the drain in 2023. Paul’s report showed how the U S government wastes money.

Note the last item: $236 billion ($236,000,000,000) in improper payments.
