(CNSNews.com) – Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) released his second “Federal Fumbles” report (https://www.lankford.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Federal_Fumbles_2016.pdf)on Monday, citing 100 examples of the misuse of taxpayer dollars through government spending and regulation.
One example: The National Science Foundation (NSF), the report said, spent $412,930 to fund a study that argued "that scientists should use femnist theories and a feminist point of view to sudy glaciers and the relationship between glaciers and humans."
Other examples include a regulation that requires convenience stores that accept food stamps to increase their offerings of "healthy" foods (such as "tofu" and "catfish"), more than $3 million spent for a soap opera to raise awareness about AIDS, and a university spending taxpayer dollars for custom snuggies.
“The American people have signaled a bold new direction for Washington with the election of President-elect Donald Trump,” said Sen. Lankford upon the report’s release. “Although the federal debt wasn’t a major focus during the presidential campaign, it remains a serious impending crisis that must be addressed.”
