Answer 1

Well that 1.6 billion is pretty minor compared to the over 9 billion that GM spent in advertising in the last two years.

That is not even 1 dollar in 3000 that the government spends. A bunch of that money goes to advertising national parks, and educating people about the services that government agencies provide.


Or would you just prefer the government not spend some money to tell us what it is doing and let your paranoia imagine things?

Just another statistic taken out of context.

Answer 2

What? Duped again? Impossible.
