Your Government the Art Collector

We bet you didn’t know that some of the dollars you work for go to shipping, storing and maintaining one of the largest art collections in the world.

We don’t know how much the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) spends on its 26,000 paintings, sculptures and other “objets d’art,” but we bet it’s a lot. And, search as we might in the Constitution, we couldn’t find one article demanding that the government pose as modern day Medicis.

So this week we award our coveted Golden Fleece Award, encased in a solid gold frame, to our pals at the GSA.
