Too Much Money for government?

Remember the North Carolina budget that was "cut to the bone?" When asked for more money for roads that are beyond repair and silly little things like prosecutors and courts to maintain law and order, the state just didn't have any money? Apparently, that's all changed.

You see, State Rep. Michael Wray has a pile of cash from the government that he couldn't find anything to spend it on:

Last summer, when Wray was looking for a recipient for the $5,000, he called President Bill Edwards at the Henderson-Vance Chamber of Commerce and asked about a nonprofit organization that might be able to use the funds.

Hey, morons in the General ASSembly -- your job is not to spend as much money as you can! How about NOT stealing gas taxes to give away to "nonprofit organizations?" If you've got $5,000.00 and can't find anything to do with it, how about spending it on GOVERNMENT things? Like courts? How about some damn roads?

Oh, and the "Henderson-Vance Downtown Development Commission" is NOT a charitable cause, non-profit or not. Forced taking at gunpoint of money to give to someone else is NOT charity. If it were, I could start robbing everyone on the street to obtain money for myself. That's what government does.

Crap like this can really make you want to be an anarchist.
