Naw, you should treat yourself from time to time. However, Bush’s decision to spend $$$$$$$$$ on Mars instead of on Health Care is the ultimate in profligate policy.
btw, I really like the word “wastrel” in the definition.
Profligate has always been one of my favorite words, but I enjoy it best when applied to people.
e.g. Jenny is the profligate of her home-town’s goodwill.
