Government's Good For... Statues

Those Big Hollywood kids are endlessly hilarious - here's Mr. Skip Press noting a testament to not spending tax dollars:

I received an email supposedly quoting Margaret Thatcher as saying: “The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.”

I’ve never found any proof that this great Briton ever said that, but there’s no doubt she knew her business. After all, she was, on February 21, 2007, the first Prime Minister to be honored with a statue in the House of Parliament while still living.

Who paid for this statue then?

It was commissioned by the Speaker's Advisory Committee on Works of Art from Antony Dufort four years ago, at a cost of £80,000.

Fine with me, but I think Skip's got himself in an infinite loop.
