This line in the radio ad for Senator Fred Smith, Republican in District 12, is really annoying me. Smith says:
Government that wastes a dollar is a dollar that can’t go to educate a child, or provide for healthcare, or make us competitive in the global economy.
I’m sorry, but especially with respect to the latter two, that’s like saying
Government that wastes a dollar is a dollar that can’t be flushed down a toilet or fed to the pigeons.
