The ever-rising federal debt just surpassed $21 trillion last month – at least $65,000 for every person in the U.S. Just how much federal waste, duplication, and weird or unnecessary spending are your tax dollars funding? Not every federal grant is wasteful, but there are plenty that are highly questionable. Health & Human Services was the biggest porker by far – doling out roughly $4 of every $5 in federal grants.

The little airport there received $9.2 million in federal grants during fiscal year 2016 – your subsidy to the very rich crowd.
