Whiskey is Christmas Gratuity at State Department: Hillary Clinton Enjoys a Christmas Gratuity

We already know how wildly and recklessly Congress and the State Department spends our money. To learn of thousands spent to buy liquor and wine is not news, but claiming that whiskey is a "Christmas gratuity" is appalling news. "Christmas" is not a proper word out of this White House and certainly not at the State Department, yet $9,501 was expensed for whiskey and wine for "Christmas gratuities" at our embassy in South Korea. How shameless can we be, and what happened to 'Winter Holiday?' We do not use "Christmas" in the sacred context, but use it for whiskey, and probably spell it with a small 'c.'

Kansas City Closes 29 of 61 Schools: Massive Waste Brings KC Schools to an End

The Kansas City, Missouri school system received $2 BILLION dollars to desegregate (integrate) their inner-city schools. They did everything but integrate and teach, and now 29 of 61 schools are approved for closure. One school built an Olympic sized swimming pool, another a recording studio, yet another a "high-profile" fencing program.

How pitiful is this? The superintendent and administration should be behind bars:

The district went on a buying spree that included a six-lane indoor track and a moct court complete with a judge's chamber and jury deliberation room. But student achievement remained low....

Two billion dollars wasted to integrate these inner city schools. Think of the math and science skills that could have been taught for $2 Billion.
