The “Waste” part of “Waste, Fraud, and Abuse”

New Yorkers outraged as bureaucrats order city to change lettering on every single street sign[*1]

Of course, knowing how Democrats work, Fraud could be at work here too. Somebody’s nephew probably has a sign-making company and needs some business.

The additional cost to the city, if any, will be “marginal” because it receives a steady stream of state funding for routine sign repairs and replacement, DOT spokesman Seth Solomonow said.

Oh, that’s OK then. It won’t be the New York City taxpayers who pay for the signs. It will be everybody else in New York State paying for them. And, of course, through the generosity of the Federal Government, every taxpayer in the United States gets to contribute to this, too.

Hey, that’s more than fair, isn’t it?
