Don’t we only need $1 million a year to keep the White House open for tours?

Less than the cost of taking Air Force One on a 5 hour round trip.

To: Democrats hate too much; sickoflibs
Our politicians want glorious buildings to hold up the delusion they're ‘special’ - superior... Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln might have deserved such grandness to work within - but not this current bunch of narcissistic shoe salesmen types.

None of the Washington elite want everyday citizens tramping though their exulted spaces.

The spaces we pay for...

DC elites pay themselves better than most Americans too - better than the people who produce rather than just push paper around spending other people's money. Most of the top ten wealthiest ZIP codes are clustered around Washington DC. On our dime - and they don't want us visiting?

A law to limit new government buildings in DC to the type the rest of America works in would be a start. DC denizens sure aren't royalty. Time to stop treating them as if they were.
