-Expensive cars/SUVs.

-Congressional Spending projects.

-Giving illegal immigrants free health care, SS$, and food.

-The war.

Please add somethings you feel to the list.

Thanks. =]

Answer 1

congessional retirement and healthcare

all the congressional committees and sub committees and sub-sub committees that get absolutely nothing accomplished

the secret service for former leaders and their families

the lavish offices they get in congress

welfare for people who make the wrong decisions over and over and over

the UN building in NYC

Answer 2

The War is the number one thing. I don't feel we are safer because of it or that the world is or will be a better place because of it.

Building that wall on the US and Mexico border. It isn't going to work.

Answer 3

Sorry bud, but nuclear energy IS a viable solution at this time.

My list of wastes are welfare, corporate welfare, overseas aid (we shouldn't be paying Africa's way when we can't even pay for our own), UN dues, the war in Iraq (not so  much Afghanistan), congressional salaries, social security retirement benefits (not disability, temporary help for needy families (stressing the temporary part), temporary unemployment; these are worthwhile programs for those who truly need them), farm subsidies, crooked members of congress who channel tax-payer money to their families, the entire FCC, and 99% of pork barrel projects.

I know I'm missing some but it's a large list.

Hope this helps you!

Answer 4

Providing security for the illegals protesting.  It cost millions of dollars for closed roads, coordinating their route, deploying police officers.. what a waste of money.

Answer 5

Healthcare - Currently there is $300 billion healthcare dollars that are not being used for healthcare at all. And yet millions of Americans are not covered or have only a small amount of healthcare coverage. And the ones who are covered (politicians and corporate giants who deal with the politics) are covered for far more than is necessary.

Military - The military budget which is already well over-bloated is only being fueled more by the democrats and republicans. Not only is the War In Iraq costing billions of dollars, but we have a high tech missile system that doesn't even work that we continue to spend money on.

Energy -

Nuclear power continues to get funding even though the risks are not worth the reward at this time. Just one nuclear accident can kill thousands, and leave untold damages for future generations. Solar energy needs to come first.

Ethanol - With the cost of gas so high people have decided to use ethanol which is raising corn prices. But do they realize that ethanol has the highest cost per benefit of any energy source available to us?

No, Ralph Nader isn't a crazy politician. He's a full time citizen who has accomplished great things. This consumer advocate has made differences in your life that you may not even know about. Check out the film entitled An Unreasonable Man. It is highly informative.
