Think about that the next time you hear politicians wanting to continue to "grow" govt.
most people just don't get that. Just look at the comments on that article hating on Gates... they are oblivious to the actual spending gov't does. An article on which cities govt's could buy EVERY DAY would be far more useful.

Speaking of comments, best one was this gem "But how could he live in all those houses? He should just buy 1 or 2 big houses instead. Where will all the people of Boston go?"
