“Paul then rattled off a short list of what he considers wasteful Washington spending that needs to be eliminated before any talk of new revenue – or taxes – takes place. ‘Come to me when you’ve gotten rid of the $3 million you spent last year to watch monkeys on methamphetamine,’ Paul said. ‘Come to me when you get rid of the $300,000 you spent last year developing a robotic squirrel to see if a rattlesnake will strike a robotic squirrel that’s not wagging its tail – apparently they couldn’t get any real squirrels to volunteer and not wag their tails. They spent nearly a half a million dollars developing a ‘menu for Mars.’ If you don’t have a job and you’re looking for a job, this is a good one: You get to go to Hawaii, you have to like food, and you sit around for a week and you think of things you’d like to eat if you were on Mars. There’s also a $5,000 fee you get paid as well. Interestingly enough, after all of that, they think pizza would be good on Mars.’”
