Museum of Government Waste
via Greg Knapp (KCMO) ^ | Jim Hubbard

Five years ago, we set out on a quest to try to get government funding for the ultimate ridiculous project: a museum of government waste. While this might sound like a joke, sadly, it’s not. Every year, your federal government spends billions of dollars on things like swine odor research, a museum of magic, and researching why chimps throw their own poop. So we thought we’d head to Washington and try to get our own piece of pork.

KEYWORDS: congress; earmarks; spending; waste
Are you fed up with how Washington DC wastes your hard-earned money?

Are you worried that your federal government is spending America into bankruptcy?

Are you sick of pork? (We’re talking about the type of spending not the other white meat.)

Check out this great idea that was discussed this morning on KCMO by host Greg Knapp! There's a movie, too!

Interesting idea.

I wonder if one exhibit will be the: we researched something and then did what they told us not to exhibit.

NO dome over the Congress, just a separate museum to showplace that expensive hammer, those waterless toilets, etc. Don’t you want to see what our government paid for without traveling the world?

Here’s some info about the movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2PBIEl5BiU

This sounds like it would be pretty difficult to display. :-)

Yep, it would be... but I’ve no doubt there are some good candidates for it.

Good answer! —

It’s a bit broad, though, do’ncha think? :-)

Could you narrow that a bit?

It’s a government agency, ergo, it must be broad.............
