    Each one costs as much as a state of the art high school, including 1 year of teacher salaries. That’s 16 districts that could have had better education, and maybe we would have smarter voters, and maybe elect fewer shitbags.

      Because I do not believe in accurate elections on the federal level, I prefer to translate the kickbacks into missed food, housing and medicine

        Sure, take your pick. I like the school comparison because it’s easier to visualize. But you’re right, spending at the federal level would be more distributed across all programs.
