Can you believe it? A wasteful federal program has been defunded.
Up until recently the Good Ole USofA has been spending $20,000,000 to beam Sesame Street throughout Pakistan.
The good news is we have just saved $13,300,000. The bad news is we saved $13,300,000 because $6,700,000 has already been spent on this project.
The funding was cancelled because of corruption and misappropriation of funds by the man in charge of the Sesame Street Project in Pakistan. It appears that he was doing such things as...
- Paying off old personal debts.
- Giving lucrative contracts to friends, relatives and/or people who kicked back monies to him.
- Building himself a fancy residential complex.
When Senator Foghorn Leghorn was informed of the kinds of things that stopped the remainder of the $13,300,000 from going to Pakistan he said, “What’s wrong with that?”
Would I kid u?

Members of Congress seem to regard our money as Monopoly money. I'm becoming increasingly cynical. Pansy
If I didn't know your new posting was in fact true, I would think you were kidding me. It's sad to think how hard someone had to work in order to generate the taxes that were then wasted by our government!!!!!
