    How much is a Million dollars in government budgets

    When you hear a few million dollars to defend this or that. When King Noah of our day investigation cost $40 million dollars. Heard that is too much. Same for so called same gender marriage. That money could go to schools, elderly roads and on and on. However most school districts and highway districts have multi million dollar budgets, less than a dollar a citizen. King Noah of our time less than 40 cents a person. When people say a million dollars is a waste of money that could be better spent. Thing is A million dollars in the state and federal budgets is a drop in the bucket. Sounds good to say though when we could spend it on other things.

    It's nothing. In fact, the smaller the number it seems, the harder it is to spend.

      It is unfortunate that the government doesn't feel the same way when it comes to taxing.

        It's nothing if it's someone else's money you are spending.

          Is King Noah of our day Obama or Clinton?
