I'll have my kids paint you one for five bucks
I'm really trying to understand this, I truly am.
How the FUCK does a road sign cost ten grand?
Can someone explain this to me, pretty please? A friend of mine puts up road signs for a living, I'd be surprised if he makes $20 an hour doing it despite having to spend every week away from home. For that sort of price, I want signs that will give my car a handjob as it's driving down the road, or at least blow fairy dust and ground-up unicorn horns into my AC system.
This is the government that we're supposed to trust to cut costs in health care? Is there some reason we should expect this sort of reckless extravagance on something completely unnecessary to not predict even crazier expenditures on lots of nothing in our medical system?
Update: @KatMcKinley (RWS) proves my point.

Oh for pity's sake. It's really no fair that it's becoming impossible to parody what the Obamatrons are doing.

I don't think you understand what a sign making company goes through to produce a sign like this. Sheet metal shaping, layers of kiln-baked paint, laser-guilded precision lettering and $4000 kick back to Organizing for America take up most of the ten grand, leaving a profit only $5800 for a carefully selected minority-owned company.

Ask Cuffy Meigs, and Wesley Mouch.
It's all logical if you understand the importance of social support.
