A Mind-Boggling Example of Government Waste

A Mind-Boggling Example of Government Waste

Posted on June 1, 2011 by Dan Mitchell

All I can say is that I’m thankful the United States is not part of the European Union, at least if this little tidbit from the UK-based Telegraph is true. American politicians waste a lot of money, but even I doubt they ever spent tax dollars on something that is simultaneously so idiotic and so oozing with liberal paternalistic racism.

Cash to train teenagers in Burkina Faso and Mali, two of the world’s poorest countries, in “therapeutic dancing” because Africans find that “expression of feelings through the spoken word is often difficult and complicated”.
