The Fort Worth paper this morning had some details on how stimulus money is being used: to buy massive military-style weaponry for local police in towns that have next to no crime at all. Ah, what a peace-loving president we have. (I was in Fort Worth for our Mises Circle meeting, which went fabulously well, by the way!).
So I see here that we have similarly wasteful if not as threatening uses of the money in the context of “community service.” This piece by Mark Steyn is well worth the read.
