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 on government spending, specifically the $8 billion budget given to the National Science Foundation (NSF). The Subcommittee used the event of the NSF spending $70,000 to study gender disparity among Wikipedia contributors as an example of wasteful spending from the NSF's continuously increasing budget.
