Money, it's a crime

Bush PR costs taxpayers $1.6 billion
"The Bush administration spent at least $1.6 billion on public relations and advertising campaigns over 30 months, according to a report released Monday by the Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress."

Now unless you are brainwashed you should be able to tell that advertising means propaganda. I am glad we give our government our hard earned money for them to spend it in ways to try and tell us what we want for ourselves.
