One of the biggest wastes of the Clinton years was the canceling of the Superconducting Supercollider. If that had been constructed, finding the Higgs boson would have happened in the US rather than Europe, and probably about a decade sooner to boot.

I wonder when Interstellar is going to be released on BD? Can't wait.

$12B to build the SSC.Or we could have hacked $12 billion out of TARP and still not prevented the depression, but at least we'd have a kickass scientific instrument. In fact, the $12 billion spent on building the SSC would have done more to stimulate the economy than the entire rest of TARP did.
The TARP bailout could have built 65 of them.
