Americans are fervent music lovers. In fact, with 14.9 million currently unemployed, with a 9.7% unemployment rate, your generosity astounds me. Yet despite no work to provide for yourself and your family, you still spent $300,000 for the John H. Baker Film Collection exhibit at the American Jazz Museum in Missouri.
It's a fine exhibit, with state-of-the-art SoundShower technology, all thanks to you.
So don't worry about that mortgage. Relax about that car payment. Don't freak out over the grocery bill or the water bill or the gas and electric bill in a record-breaking cold year with winter on our heels.
Loosen up. Listen to some jazz. Or travel to Missouri and see the exhibit you funded, if you can afford the $8 admission ticket.
Big Government reports more of your generous donations. You've spent....
- Nearly $10 billion in stimulus aid to repair the nation’s tattered highways has largely bypassed areas where roads are in the worst shape
- The Federal Aviation Administration will spend over $10 million on an airstrip that has no demonstrated need, doesn’t meet the FAA’s minimum quota for air traffic, and is only 11 miles away from an existing airport
- AIDS Pork: San Francisco continues to receives federal funding for AIDS patients who died decades ago
- Only 22 percent of Defense Travel System users are happy with the problem-plagued $500 million government travel system
