It seems like every day I read about how government wastes money so I thought I would record them.

I recognize that some government is necessary for any society to exist but without the "profit incentive" that we have in private enterprise, government continues to grow like a cancer and along with it the potential for abuse. If you ever needed a reason to limit government, just read some of the following posts.

$600,000 Homes For Border Agents

The Department of Homeland Security spent an average of more than $600,000 each to build 21 homes in Ajo, Arizona where most similar-size homes sold last year for less than $100,000.
