As more details emerge about the IRS targeting organizations that focus on government spending and debt, it's worth noting that the IRS is a repeat offender when it comes to wasteful spending. The service has spent billions of taxpayer dollars on everything from Blackberrys and Aircards to video production.

After 1400 days, Senate Democrats are finally putting the finishing touches on their budget. Maybe now they'll have a clearer idea that they've wasted too much money, leaving too little behind for our nation's top priorities. The Republican solution?
