Rough Cut

Which Government Projects are Real and Which are Fake?

A Project of Bankrupting America - Text from Youtube Text Field

Like this vid? Click http://apps.facebook.com/bankruptinga... to try our Spending #FAIL Map that has more on these projects and many others.
-----------------------
Joke-telling robots, expensive walking tunnels, Blackberries for smokers, and training American prostitutes to drink responsibly. What do these things have in common? They're all questionable government spending projects in a time when our economy is struggling and people can't get jobs....or, maybe we just made them up.

Put yourself to the test. See if you can outwit the Rebel Economist before she stumps you. So what is it: REAL or FAKE?
