If the waste were only $2.5m per day they could house 18,250 new families per year in $50,00 homes. Give them the home and a chance to make a go of it.
With the same $2.5m per day they could feed 833,333 people which is over 3 billion meals/yr.
I'd rather see them feed the 833,333 people than buy a Super Bowl ad.

I think the census is pretty important and anyways $2.5million is small change.
The basic facts are the only way the US is gonna balance its books is to stop spending billions on pointless wars, reduce spending on healthcare (medicare) and raise taxes.
