The Heritage Foundation has put together a list of the top 10 examples of wasteful government spending in 2013 that will leave you flabbergasted.
Ranging from outhouses to luxury hotels, this hall of shame list even includes an honorable mention of the 2013 Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens, who were paid $130,000 in taxpayer money to plug Obamacare.
