We only have to look at government's spending habits to understand how out of control they are. Government loves to build palaces to glorify government, start with the government buildings. Egyptian Pharoh's would be like WTF?
I remember an Oregon Dem POS governor who was obviously a spending addict. After dickhead Bill Clinton wrecked the timber industry, gifting it to Canada. Yeah, they didn't save any trees, Canada cut them down instead.

God Democrats are stupid.
Anyway entire towns relied on the timber industry and Clinton wiped them out. When an uproar errupted Clinton decided to give federal money to these towns to retrain the timber workers as computer programmers. Yes more retarded Democrat stupidity.
So this Dem bitch Oregon governor, she took all the money and spent it on other shit. The timber towns were left to rot. She was on a national news interview with other governors. Some were arguing the money came so late that we shouldn't spend it, as federal spending was out of control. This Dem bitch spending addict said, "If Nebraska doesn't want their money we'll take it." But it was the look on the womans face. She was so high on spending it looked like she just injected Meth into her jugular.
After they looked into this womans prior government spending in different government positions. Sure enough she had been spending like an addict for years. She built a palace to display Oregon historic documents. Right, like we needed a new additional building just for that. That building was a monument to government glorification. Just the floor coverings were over $800 per square foot. And this was back in the 1980's.
If people wonder how the great empires throughout history fell, ^^^ that's how.
