I must have missed the desperately needed outcry to scold Student Government's blatant waste of spending, so here goes my version. The University of Florida is spending $204,000 to start up, then $110,000 per year to tell you how long you have to wait for a bus. If that's not enough, throw in a few high-definition LCD screens. Can we not wait for a bus like the rest of the world? Is there any true value gained in this system?

Student Government, please stop spending money just to say you did something. UF students, stop supporting things just because they sound like something nice to have, like free happiness for everyone. Maybe we should solve real problems.

Ever since this "budget crisis" has occurred, people have been complaining about how they have to take tests on one-third of a sheet of paper. I am grateful that Gov. Crist has put pressure on the university system to reduce spending because it's clear we have money to waste.
