Pretty much everything the government spends money on will seem silly compared to the average family budget. Considering that 300 million + of the richest people in the world are buying these things collectively.
People don't seem to mind billions on this and trillions on that, because they can't really understand those numbers....but 600K to mark police cars...when that's like 12 years worth of a 50K/yr job....that pisses people off for some reason.
I imagine if we found out what the commerce department spends on toner or the state department spends on paper clips we could get all worked up about it too....but it's a red herring.
You would be pissed off about the stimulus even if you hadn't read this article in the local paper.
