President Obama has proposed spending $420 million next year to buy land for national parks, forests and wildlife refuges, and to help states fund parks and recreation projects. That is more than double the amount Congress provided for 2009
It's ONLY $210 million. What's a million amongst comrades?
I have never been a fan of parks, green spaces or other contrived government wastes of taxpayer money. It is just another way to employee those who are otherwise unemployable in the private sector. Unfortunately, I live in a county where the current parks big shot loves to buy (or snatch up via emminent domain, whichever is cheaper) up as much land as he can and turn it into green park space...or soccer fields where he can charge a premium for us taxpayers to use the land he just purchased with taxpayer money in the first place; "for the good of everyone in the community." I fully expect him to be in line with his hand, lapping at the boot of PBO to build another flower bed somewhere.
Are we REALLY that stupid?
