in the 60's the goverment needed to listen in on russian diplomats in a park in washington dc, the diplomats did'nt let anyone near enough to listen and they did'nt have directional mikes then. so they desided to use a cat with a mike wired to it, they found that the cat would work great but the cat got hungry it would run off to look for food.. so my implanted a device to suppress the cats appetite and they trained it to go where they wanted to. when it came the day to use it they let it out of the side of a van........ and a car ran it over. this project was called "acoustic kitty" and it cost 14 million dollars ( thats 1960 dollars!!!). the goverment spent 14 million dollars for the most expensive roadkill in the world. this was a CIA project.

Well, the Iraq attac...err, war, had already cost over 100 billion dollars by March '04. That was over 3 years ago.
But we just keep spilling more blood and dough into that prolonged re-election campaign.
Does that answer your question?

They don't. More money has gone to war since 2003 than Bill Gates has made off X-Box 360 profits.

They spend the money wisely on themselves,they know how to do that right,but when it comes to us,really at the end of the day ,it's for their benefit.
It always has been and always will be that way!!!! ALWAYS.

The government has absolutely no common sense when it comes to taxpayer's money.

that 14 million dollar expenditure was almost as good as paying $650,00 for a toilet seat or $25.00 for a small box of paper clips. Thanks for one of the funniest story's ever, and for the belly laugh you gave me.
