It's your grandchildren's money

I was going to title this piece "It's your money" but then I realized it's actually China's money since the gvernment is borrowing heavily from China to fund everything it does. So it's really your grandchildren's money. Raw Story reports the Bushies have spent $1.6 billion of your grandchildren's money on public relations, presumably mostly in support of Bush:

Today Rep. Henry A. Waxman, Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, Rep. George Miller, Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, and other senior Democrats released a new Government Accountability Office report finding that the Bush Administration spent more than $1.6 billion in public relations and media contracts in a two and a half year span.

"The government is spending over a billion dollars per year on PR and advertising," said Rep. Waxman. "Careful oversight of this spending is essential given the track record of the Bush Administration, which has used taxpayer dollars to fund covert propaganda within the United States."
