Government Waste: A Love Affair

Subcommittee on Federal Spending Oversight and Emergency Management
Abstract
From the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, the Subcommittee on Federal Spending Oversight and Emergency Management led by Senator Rand Paul issued a weekly waste report focusing on a Stanford Study that sought to better understand social and romantic relationships. The report asserts that the government should not be funding the study, and the grant projects that aided in this research were not related to romantic relationships. The Subcommittee found that the grants totaled approximately $2.5 million, and that the money being spent was not well tracked allowing it to be used for "frivolous, unintended research."
