[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 1041860, member: 1246"] Our tax dollars hard at work. [INDENT][URL="http://cnsnews.com/news/article/us-spent-27-million-ineffective-pottery-classes-morocco"](CNSNews.com)[/URL] – The federal government spent $27 million teaching Moroccans how to make pottery, a project that yielded less than stellar results, according to Sen. Tom Coburn’s recently released [URL="http://www.coburn.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?a=Files.Serve&File_id=b7b23f66-2d60-4d5a-8bc5-8522c7e1a40e"]Waste Book 2012[/URL]. Some pottery students showed up just to get the free lunches, and one pottery class reported just 10 regular students, according to information compiled by Coburn. The Oklahoma Republican’s annual catalogue of frivolous government spending says the pottery program began in 2009 as part of an attempt to “improve the economic competitiveness of Morocco.” Coburn said a [URL="http://oig.usaid.gov/sites/default/files/audit-reports/7-608-12-002-p.pdf"]review[/URL] by the Inspector General for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), which oversaw the program, found that the project was “not on track to achieve its goals.” [/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
