Yes, President Bush allowed the misspending of your tax dollars.
"How much would you pay to have someone write a speech for you if you didn’t want your staff to do it? How about $5,500 -- or $16,500 for three?
Actually, you did pay for it, through your taxes.
That’s the amount of money the Small Business Administration, which has its own staff of public relations writers, paid the White House Writers Group Inc. in 2006 to write three speeches for then-SBA Administrator Steve Preston.
The White House Writers Group is a private firm led by former members of various Republican administrations."
Looks like the SBA needs professional help--no not in speech writing but ethics and fiscal responsibility. If the head of the SBA can not, without expensive, or cheap, speech writers, express views and policies, then get someone with an IQ to lead the agency.
Who says government has too little money--obviously it has enough to high politically connected speech writers. Doesn't this make you proud of government?
