"I support “smart spending and fair taxation”. “Smart spending” means less
spending on unnecessary items and more spending that is necessary.
For example, a
recent House vote involved $53,948,949 in spending that could have been stopped. That’s $29,962,425 for
advertising with NASCAR, $14,496,424 for Indy Car racing, $3,960,100 for
American Motorcycle Racing, $5,150,000 for World Wrestling Entertainment, and
$380,000 for Motocross. The advertising is to promote the National Guard… at a
time when recruitment goals are being met/exceeded and the plan is to reduce the size of the
military.
Is it smart to advertise now ? Is that advertising the “key” to
recruitment ?
IMO, that is money that should be saved … but the House
rejected the spending reduction." Mac Hall (aka Minnesota Central)

Not surprisingly, I agree with the majority that micromanaging is not the job of Congress...
We have Generals and Bureaucrats aplenty to decide how to best spend the funds. Besides I am assuming there are some long term contracts involved...
Apparently the data indicates that it is an effective recruiting device. Sporting News NG Sponsorship Approved and SBU Article It seems to me that the target audience is correct.
Nascar, WWE, etc seem aligned to those most likely to sign up. Especially if you want young Southern boys that are looking for adventure...
Mac,
It seems people are indifferent to this issue.
If by indifferent you mean we do not object, you would be correct.
