Paul’s Festivus list released
If you knew your taxpayer money was going to support a research program that involves lizards walking on treadmills, what would you think?
Well, start thinking, because the federal government has spent part of your hard-earned money doing just that, according to the annual Festivus list compiled and published last week by U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky.
His annual list of wasteful government expenses, named after a suggested holiday on the former “Seinfeld” TV show, totals $54 million.
We’ll admit there may be some overweight lizards out there, but we’re not sure how many can afford gym memberships.
