I heard over the weekend that the mall money includes funds to repair the Jefferson Memorial which is apparently sinking into the (formerly swampy) ground where it was built near the Tidal Basin.

So maybe not all the funds are intended for grass.

It still seems like you should be able to do both for less than $200 million.

My post is definitely trying to play the part of “agent provocateur”. I’m not necessarily trying to do an “apples to apples” cost analysis.

Regardless, I am certain that this item is still an obscene abuse of our tax dollars by a government that could potentially destroy our children’s future.

Our federal employees need to do what you and I do when things get a little tight; trim down the spending and do a little more with a little less. It’s common sense.
