But I thought the government didn't have enough money.

From the Associated Press:

DENVER (AP) -- Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter does not have a staff photographer - but he has billed taxpayers more than $200,000 to hire outside contractors and pay for photographs, videos and TV ads promoting his accomplishments since June 2008, including videos of him receiving a "Father of the Year" award and a press conference naming his friend, Michael Bennet, to a U.S. Senate seat.

Until nonsense like this goes away, statists can save their tears about a lack of government money and the need for more taxes.

The government need for more money is a lie.

There Unfortunately there is a large group of people who don't realize that there is plenty of room for cutting costs. Do we really need to spend $200k on this? Why not $100k? Why not $30k? Why not $100? Government is like a teenager asking it's parents for money. It has not concept of wisely spending it and, worse, it believes it's always entitled to more.
