And you thought the government spent a lot
There are basically two types of big spenders in Washington: Democrats and Republicans. (Yeah, there’s a smattering of the Officially Independent, but they’re not known for being penurious either.)

Kids these days! Dale writes, “My lectures about financial responsibility appear to have failed: yesterday [my teenaged daughter] charged $23,148,855,308,184,500.00 at the drug store.” You would think Visa would have caught the error and addressed it, if you were high. What Visa actually did was slap a $20 “negative balance” fee on it, of course.
Upon hearing about this, Goldman Sachs hurried to establish a slush fund investment account for drug-store overdrafts.
