town pay someone $6,000 to mow the lawn? Maybe your post office always gasses up those delivery Jeeps with pricey premium petrol. The White House has set out "The Wastebasket," a place where taxpayers can toss in evidence of government waste. The site, www.whitehouse.gov/omb, is part of the White House Office of Management and Budget's updated Web site. Think of it as a socially responsible way to waste time!
