The newly formed Department of Government Efficiency has shared some examples of the kind of obscene government waste that it will abolish.
The X account of the department shared a video of Senator Rand Paul highlighting absolutely mental programs and studies that the US government has funded recently.
One example was pumping a hundred grand into an experiment to determine whether gin or tequila makes a sunfish more aggressive.
Another involved almost one million dollars towards a study to discover whether cocaine makes Japanese quail more “sexually promiscuous.”
The video also highlights how the government spent $750,000 to determine if Neil Armstrong said “One small step for man” or “one small step for ‘a’ man,” with the outcome determined to be “inconclusive.”
Paul also discovered that $2 million went toward the “construction of a kelp and shellfish nursery in Maine.”
