You've GOT to be kidding me...

...I have officially come to the conclusion that our new president and his administration are all idiots.  Don't believe me?  Look at this!!  HERE
WHAT THE HELL PEOPLE?!?!?!?  Does it /seriously/ take $18 MILLION to revamp a WEBSITE?!? *HEADDESK!*  A. WEB. SITE!  A WEBSITE!!  EIGHTEEN MILLION FOR A WEBSITE!!  I'm sorry, that just....breaks my brain...I mean...seriously.  How much could it /really/ cost to make a website, let alone revamp one?  And they sound HAPPY about this expenditure in the article!  "Yes, we're throwing away $18 Million on a website so you'll know a little more about where your taxes are going, but we can't think of anything better to put this money towards when in California alone we're still facing a MAJOR budget crisis, nevermind the REST of the cournty." 

....Have I ever mentioned that I despise government.  Our country is being run by brainless idiots. >,>...... *done now, promise*

Didn't hear about this one. Totally agree with you!

Yeah, I came to that conclusion before the election. The "stimulus" package, ridiculous foreign policies, and "dates in NY and Paris at the taxpayers' expense" haven't proved my conclusion wrong. This? Crap icing on the fecal cake that is the Obama administration.

I'd like to know who they hired that made them pay that much...

I mean for something like a website it would have very let to do equpment wise and such....

as far as I can tell...
..stupid goverment for paying it...

....sneaky guy for managing to convenience them that his work is worth that much money...

I mean I know web designers can get paid a lot...but I'd really like to know how it ever gets to be that much..
