Is this an effective use of tax dollars?

Sounds about right with these poverty brokers and political sociopaths, other than these things they are doing a bang up job and eschewing responsibility, increasing hyperbole and engendering unrest.

The Benghazi investigation is a good use of taxpayers' money, the origami condoms are not.

Although it is painful to watch Billery compound lie upon lie, we are closer to the truth today than we ever has been.

This cooling system is about the size of a small car battery and it cost over $200,000. It replaced the old cooling system and the system was never used after that. Three months after that installation, we returned from deployment, the terminal was recycle, cooling system included.

"doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"
