“This year, I am highlighting a whopping $1,008,313,329,626.12,” Paul wrote in the report.
“That’s over $1 trillion in government waste, including 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 (DOI) spent $12 million on a Las Vegas Pickleball Complex, and $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.\

Earlier this year, President-elect Donald Trump announced that wasteful government spending would be slashed under his new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) headed by Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk
“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 the report.
“And I will continue my fight against government waste this holiday season.”
