Sen. Rand Paul released a report on Monday outlining more than $1 trillion in government waste from the past year. The 2024 “Festivus” report highlighted various instances of wasteful government spending from the federal government, including a pickleball complex in Las Vegas and a cabaret show on ice. This year marks Paul’s 10th annual report. “This year, I am highlighting a whopping $1,008,313,329,626.12,” Paul, R-Ky., wrote in the report. “That’s over $1 trillion in government waste, including things like ice-skating drag queens, a $12 million Las Vegas pickleball complex, $4,840,082 on Ukrainian influencers, and more! No matter how much money the government has wasted, politicians keep demanding even more.” The Department of the Interior spent $12 million on the Las Vegas pickleball complex, according to the report. Interior also spent $720,479 on wetland conservation projects for ducks in Mexico. “I have a lot of problems with federal spending, and now it’s time to hear all about them,” Paul wrote in the report. The National Endowment for the Arts awarded the Bearded Ladies Cabaret a $10,000 grant to support a cabaret show on ice skates focused on climate change, according to the report. The NEA also spent $365,000 to promote circuses in city parks, the report states. The State Department spent $500,000 to expand the U.S. Embassy in Ethiopia’s #USInvestsInEthiopians social media campaign to a larger national public relations campaign, according to the report. The State Department also sent $253,653 to Bosnia to fight “misinformation,” spent $2.1 million for Paraguayan border security, and spent $3 million for “girl-centered climate action” in Brazil, the report says. The Department of Health and Human Services spent $419,470 to determine if lonely rats seek cocaine more than happy rats, the report states. The National Science Foundation spent $288,563 to ensure bird-watching groups have safe spaces, also known as “affinity groups,” according to the report. President-elect Donald Trump announced on Nov. 12 that he had picked Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk to cochair a new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), aimed at cutting down on wasteful government spending. “As always, taking the path to fiscal responsibility is often a lonely journey, but I’ve been fighting government waste like DOGE before DOGE was cool,” Paul wrote in his report. “And I will continue my fight against government waste this holiday season.” Many Americans have faced steep costs amid high inflation throughout President Joe Biden’s term, with inflation hitting a peak of 9.1% in June 2022. While inflation rates have eased some since then, prices still remain high, with the consumer price index (CPI), a measure of the price of everyday goods, experiencing a year-over-year increase of 2.7% in November, according to a Dec. 11 report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Some experts have attributed massive government spending under the Biden-Harris administration to fueling inflation rates. The national debt was at $36.16 trillion as of Tuesday, according to U.S. Treasury fiscal data. A spokesperson for Paul did not respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.
