Barry Bonds is causing people to be Homeless

No, not actually physically but the cost to the US Federal Government for the prosecution of a baseball player who was a steroid user is in excess of $10 million according to every source I can find. The trial is expected to continue another year at least so that number isn't going to get any smaller.

At building costs of $100 per square foot that means that the US of A could've built 100,000 square feet of social housing rather than prosecute Barry Bonds.

So bottom line, the Government of the United States would rather have Barry Bonds in jail than 200 new housing units.

Yeah, I know it's not that simple:

Bonds "lied under oath"

Bonds "cheated the American public" ........... yada, yada, yada.

But really. when the economy is in the crapper and the Governments of the world are handing out trillions of dollars to keep Armageddon at bay, don't you find millions being spent on the prosecution of a baseball an incredible waste of time and money ?

On the positive side of things recent reading about Barry did lead me to find out what an orchidometer is, and No it has nothing to do with flowers.
