Yesterday's Air Force One fly-by wasn't cheap:
The cost of the frivolous flight was about $60,000 an hour and that was just for Air Force One. That doesn't include the cost of the two F-16s that came along.National Review points out that the government could have simply used Photoshop and achieved a result that looks like this (or this):
This approach would have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars -- but who cares when you are spending other people's money?
It's stuff like this that makes me crack up when I hear people talk about all the cost savings that will come from government-run health care.

The amount of money spent is, by itself, insignificant. But it is symbolic of government in action and the dangers of assigning it additional responsibilities.
