True that. I'd also add "unchecked government spending on pork", AKA vote buying and playing fast and loose with Joe Taxpayer's nickel.
Had an interesting situation UpNort some years back. An expressway was being built to replace a particularly onerous stretch of two-lane road. Minnesota is notorious for taking forever to complete highway projects and this one was no exception. It finally got done about early May one year. However that year was an election year and the road wasn't open for traffic until October. Big deal: media, cameras and of course the Congressional Rep. for that district was there taking all the credit. Though it was strenuously denied at the time, word had it that the opening was held off until October for precisely that reason.
There is far too little accountability, in my opinion, not just for what that tax nickel is spent on, but how.
