Government Barn?

Ok, so you haven't heard about enough utter waste in government today? How's this?

Rockingham County commissioners are weighing a ten (m) million dollar commitment for a proposed equestrian center intended to draw horse enthusiasts to the area.

That's right. It's not enough to pay for rich professional team owners to have multi-million dollar stadiums, the government is now actually considering building a giant BARN to "attract people."

What in God's name are these people thinking? Can someone find me a place in any Constitution that says government's job is to "attract people?" But the county was "awarded" $1.5 million -- and YOU paid for it -- it's part of the TOBACCO LAWSUITS!

Oh, but that's not enough -- the General Assembly (remember them? They cut the budget "to the bone"?) also contributed $1,000,000.00 for the damn BARN.

Holy crap. Total B.S. like this really makes it very hard to have any faith in government ever getting fixed again. I just can't get over this one. THE GOVERNMENT is building a $5 million BARN!

Any time ANY government asks for a single dollar more, just remember THIS is what they're doing with the money. It's NOT for the children, for education, or ANYTHING else. If they want more money, tell them to reduce damn BARN funding for the rich! What a crock of you-know-what. Damn.
