13. How many millions of tax dollars have been wasted so far?

In my opinion, if the Republicans in Congress want a hearing on: "Who is responsible for water being wet!", we should bless their wasteful little hearts for doing so......while pointing it out LOUDLY to the American voter how they waste our hard earned tax dollars! If there isn't one out there already, a chart of the costs to the people of the prior Benghazi Hearings could be very useful.

Another chart charting the costs in tax dollars spent by members of Congress in repeated failed attempts to shut down the ACA could be useful too. One would think that the tax payer would be quite fed up with all the wasteful spending going on on Capital Hill. Make these bastards share the results of their wasteful spending to the American voter!

One has to wonder, had not all that money been uselessly spent, what sort of tax rebate each of us could be getting in the mail? No, of course that ain't how it works but when put to the American voter from that perspective....well, I am thinking that they will call for an end to this sort of Republican nonsense pretty quick.

Mr. Leser did a great job refuting the phony claims. lumpy May 2014 #1

What latest Benghazi panel is really all about Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin May 2014 #2
Also really about tarring Hillary Clinton. nt Bernardo de La Paz May 2014 #11
And of course, neither side mentions the reason our consulate was in Benghazi in the first place. PoliticalPothead May 2014 #3
Not mentioned because it is pretty far off topic. Not to mention poorly sourced. stevenleser May 2014 #6
Off topic? Seems to me like it gives some much needed context to the story. PoliticalPothead May 2014 #19
