Mark Twain's observation that truth is stranger than fiction was amply demonstrated in the last few months.
Nothing is easier than the expenditure of public money.
It doesn't appear to belong to anyone. The temptation is overwhelming to bestow it on somebody. When Washington wonders why it has so little credibility, it need look no further than this glorious gazool. Not even cedar siding and a slate roof can hide good tax dollars being flushed down the government toilet. Not only is the Cold War over, but both the GAO and Pentagon found the B-2's special coatings are so susceptible to damage that they require up to 124 hours of maintenance for every hour of flight.
