You didn't really expect anything different did you?
It's the same old song & dance. We (the gooberment) spend ourselves into a deficit because we dont' have enough tax dollars, then preach how we need more taxes to cover our debt, and then blow large sums of $$$ like this because we don't have any.
If they could afford to blow large sums of money like that, ever wonder why we can't feed or house the homeless or provide medical coverage for real Americans instead of illegal immigrants or cover public education? Big Bother has to keep you down somehow.
Ever wonder where the money goes? There's your answer and it's only the tip of the iceberg. This is also a fine example of how political "kickbacks" can happen. I (typical politition) can't give you pay-back for supporting my campaign fund directly, but I could throw you a couple of very lucrative gooberment contracts where you could make lot's of money for doing very little. Maybe somebody needed to return a political favor.
Remember this, the gooberment is mostly made up of wealthy people who are looking for ways to get more $$$ or idiots who couldn't make it in the real world doing a real job.
