Two Scary Days

Today is Friday the 13th and I forgot to worry about it, probably because I was too busy worrying about our taxes due on the 15th, when once again the government will take a giant chunk of money to buy something stupid. It could be anything, like one of these:
1. Fuel for Air Force One ($179,750 per hour of flight)
2. Las Vegas junket for government employees ($850,00)
3. Commissioned portraits of government officials ($50,000 each)
4. Re-sanding of beaches, even as the new sand washes away ($3 billion)
5. Team-building using new bikes for 24 government employees ($75,000)
6. Decorating an airplane ($500,000)

I wish I knew.
