Paul Broun’s budget boondoggle is the talk of the town today.

Personally, I think it’s all a bit overblown. Politically and symbolically, it’s a big issue, especially for a self-proclaimed fiscal conservative. But in the midst of a trillion-dollar war, is a $5,000 big-screen television really going to bankrupt the federal treasury?

What bothers me as a taxpayer is how difficult it is to get records of such spending.
