On Tuesday, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) released Wastebook 2013, his annual survey of wasteful spending by the federal government. This year, Coburn identified 100 projects that cost taxpayers nearly $30 billion. One of Coburn's top offenders were:
Soldier of Steel - Thanks to sequestration, the Army National Guard will reduce its strength by 8,000 soldiers. Over the next 10 years, the Army's Total Force will have to be reduced by at least 100,000.
In 2013, as part of a promotional campaign, the Army National Guard spent $10 million on a "Soldier of Steel" tie-in with the Superman movie, "Man of Steel."
"This money could have been better spent on the real life supermen and superwomen in the Army National Guard who are courageously risking all in the fight for truth, justice, and the American way," he wrote.
So what do you think CBMers, Do you think the Government wasted money on Zack Snyder's Man of Steel?
