This is how our politicians spend our tax dollars.

Some of the stupidest examples of government waste this year include:

•A $375,000 National Science Foundation grant to study the dating habits of senior citizens. I am a senior citizen Obama could have just picked up his phone and called me or picked up his pen and wrote me and I would have told them for free.

•$200,000 spent by the National Endowment for the Arts for wordless adaptations of Shakespeare plays. I do not even no what this is - wordless plays!

•$283,500 spent by the Pentagon to study a small bird. I raise birds love birds, finches, parakeets, canaries and cockatiels. They can study my birds for $500 anytime they want as long as they do not hurt them.

•$1.2 million spent by the National Science Foundation to teach robots how to select outfit combinations and dress children and the elderly. I do not think I want a robot dressing me and I think the robot would cost more than my caregiver in the Philippines. "Children" implies young and cannot live alone - why can't the people taking care of the "Children" select their clothes? If they do not have sense enough to select clothing I would think they would be to stupid to care for children.

•$250 million spent to train only 60 Syrian rebels to fight ISIS — that’s $4 million per rebel. The worse thing about this waste is they all RAN when the fighting began.

I saw $105 billion dollars in what I consider obvious waste of taxpayer money and I am sure there is much more.  Yet, we have children in the United States going to bed hungry and going to school without breakfast.

Trump is reaping the benefits of the National Historical Tax Credit to the tune of $40 million to develop an old building into a luxury hotel.
