Here is why we have no money....
"A Florida teenager could face felony vandalism charges for allegedly gluing posters depicting President Obama as the Joker onto public property.
Clermont, Fla., Police Capt. Eric Jensen said the state attorney will review evidence to determine whether to charge the unidentified teenager with gluing "dozens" of the posters last week to the city's light poles, public and private buildings, bridge overpasses, road signs and a mailbox.
Jensen said damage to city property exceeded $800, and it cost roughly $200 to remove the adhesive that was used to affix the poster to the mailbox.
"If he hadn't glued them, we wouldn't be having this discussion," Jensen said. "[The adhesive] didn't come off the road signs."
Here's the reason this is so ridiculous.
"Moffitt(postal inspector) said Montgomery(lackey)scraped off the "very, very adhesive" substance used to hang the posters with a pen knife or putty knife, which removed the mailbox's blue paint. The mailbox then had to be primed and repainted, adding to labor costs, which totaled roughly $200.
"It wasn't like a Post-It note where you could easily pull it off," Moffitt said. "Nothing's free anymore."
But it could have been a lot closer to free. An employee at Home Depot suggested a $6 bottle of Goo Gone would have done the trick.
"It does take a little rubbing," the employee said."
6 bucks vs. 200. And this is why the government sucks.
