This is short for “YOur Tax DOllars at Waste.”

This is sort of a silly take off on the old your tax dollars at work. It is a shame. The old statement your tax dollars at work used to appear on signs next to road construction sites. People were told that their tax dollars were paying for a new road that they would all use. That was a good thing.

Perhaps I am becoming too old. I see much of government spending as waste. I worked in the government for 28 years, so I have a rotted perspective. I estimate that perhaps 30% of every tax dollar spent today is waste. Yes, too bad.
