radaronline.com — Federal spending on paper shredding has increased more than 600 percent since George W. Bush took office.In 2000, the feds spent $452,807 to make unpleasant truths go away; by 2006, the "Cheney Effect" had bumped that number up to $2.9 million. And by halfway through 2007, the feds almost matched that number, with $2.7 million and counting.

Made up? The source is plainly cited. From USAspending.gov Nice try though, I really mean that.

Where did anyone even say it's secret? Where did that even come from? Do you think you just made a valid point or something? You didn't.

That's a lot of money, did not even know <a href="http://www.opsus.com/">paper shredding</a> ran the govt that much. I usually get our office's shredding done by opsus at http://www.opsus.com, so I never even had to think of it but I guess they would have a lot to go through.
