This has to be a joke. If it is not...it is US, the Tax Payer, that is being ridden...not by a fairy but our government.
The longest journey begins with a single step. The spending insanity must end...why not now, with this?
Americans are forced to make ends meet with less and less money while the government flaunts, shamelessly, the drunk power, and how irresponsible they are as the stewards of our money.

How more disgusting can the spending in the military and the federal government in general get????? They waste money on multiple, competing, weapons systems, lavish recreational facilities etc. for military personnel, and then they add $600,000.00 of useless, ugly "art" to the Mark Center Project???? This is not even mentioning the ~40% of useless Dept. of Agriculture "welfare" trash employees that do no real work in Washington, DC that I had to work around. I live in Lorton, VA and have seen the military, CDC, FDA and USDA waste TONS of money on useless projects since 911. This B.S. has to stop NOW!! Go Tea Party!! Here is another item to slice form the taxpayer budget!!

I have a nickname for the genius who thinks this is a good idea: "The Gurgling Turd"
This is why so many people these days want to storm Washington D.C. with torches and pitchforks. People are starving while the "federales" say "Let Them Eat Cake"
SHAME ON THEM ALL
