WHY GOVERNMENTS RUN OUT OF OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY: “Nobody told Hurricane librarian Rebecca Elliot that the $22,600 Internet router in the branch library’s storage closet was powerful enough to serve an entire college campus. Nobody told Elliot how much the router cost or who paid for it. Workers just showed up and installed the device. They left behind no instructions, no user manual.”

It was funded by “stimulus” money, of course.
