"Two GOP senators are accusing the federal government of misusing $78 billion in Highway Trust Funds on scenic beautification and other low-priority projects rather than committing money to essential programs to restore major highways and bridges."

Is this big enough to count as waste?

"GRIFF JENKINS, FOX NEWS CORRESPONDENT: Sean, you've heard the saying, a penny saved is a penny earned. Well, your government is hard at work saving literally pennies.

As the budget deficit soars towards $2 trillion, the administration has answered the president's call to save $100 million in 90 days, and they did it, saving $102 million or 0.006 percent of the federal budget.

How did they do it? This first example is so shocking it's almost FOX News Alert worthy. The Department of Justice has discovered that paper has two sides, a front and a back, so they're going to save over a half a million dollars by printing on both sides."

Not to worry though. All this waste is being curtailed. Just look here.

That's more like it.

There's "two sides" to every story...!

You must say at least I am fair and balanced

I was looking at http://www.fueleconomy.gov/ for the cash for clunkers program and of the five cars clearly pictured, four are foreign made, lol.

Good to see some support of domestic auto makers, lol, especially since we own most of some of them now.
