why are government buildings so nice?

I was at the Roswell Municipal  ripoff facility today and couldn’t help but notice how nice the building was, and it got me to thinking..

Why the hell do government courthouses look so nice. I’m walking into the Roswell (municipal ripoff center) one and it has 3 story tall columns, cice green grass, marble, all this stuff. And why? What’s the point? *This* is where we spend our money? Firemen, teachers, police, etc. don’t get paid enough but we have a zillion dollar court complex? What the hell is up with that?

Government buildings should all be in warehouses. Cheap. Low overhead. (Maybe even ones from all the closed down businesses that went overseas.)Let’s spend the money where it counts instead. That judge can sit butt in a folding chair.
