The Golden Fleece Awards

The Golden Fleece Award in the United States was a symbolically coined honor, named after the mythological Golden Fleece sought by Jason and the Argonauts in Greek mythology. It was not an official award but rather a term popularized by Senator William Proxmire, who used it to highlight what he considered wasteful and unnecessary uses of taxpayer money by the federal government.

While the formal Golden Fleece Award may no longer be actively bestowed, the concept of highlighting wasteful government spending continues to resonate in public discourse, with various individuals and organizations continuing to call attention to what they perceive as misallocated funds.

History Of Golden Fleece Awards

Former Wisconsin Senator William Proxmire left a legacy through the Golden Fleece Award—an iconic symbol of fiscal vigilance. From March 1975 to December 1988, this monthly accolade spotlighted what Proxmire termed ‘wasteful, ridiculous, or ironic uses of taxpayers’ money.’

In the words of Senator Proxmire, ‘The purpose of the award was to dramatize wasteful and extravagant spending to try to discourage it. Highlighting specific, single wasteful expenditures is more effective than simply complaining in a general way about government waste.’ This award wasn’t just a critique; it was a focused effort to spotlight inefficiency and encourage responsible financial stewardship.

It would summarize each award-winning instance, highlighting the nature of the expenditure, the agency involved, and why it was singled out as an example of wasteful or extravagant spending.
