Several agencies in our government have offices and programs whose sole purpose is to help movie directors and Hollywood producers make their movies and television shows. They often do this to make sure the production portrays the federal government and its bureaucrats in a good light. There are at least 14 employees that have a combined salary of $1.2 million.
The Centers for Disease Control‘s (CDC) Entertainment Education Program collaborates with Hollywood to raise awareness and encourages people to live healthier lives. The CDC has worked with shows such as Grey‘s Anatomy and Army Wives. In other words, the CDC spends $1.9 million to ensure that when a made up character in a fictitious TV show talks about a health topic, he or she talks about it accurately. Surely, we can find better ways to spend $34.4 million.
