Yes, people who complain about government waste are a bunch of "cranky pants."  They are also good Americans who are upset when they see how money "borrowed" from other programs is wasted.  Of course, one person's waste is another one's valid expenditure, so. . . But I can tell you that the city of Glendale is the undisputed king of graft and waste, and Aurora is close behind, longing to take first place.
