I can not source it for you. I have a feeling, and only that, that I did not get the notion from FR.

It is still a good, um, avenue to investigate.

Isn’t it odd that the GP’s gave to a day care center, enough to get named after themselves and, what, none to their grandkids?

Anyways, another thought about Mr. Wood Hippie. So, he pulls in, supposedly, 25k per year. (No cash work out of the Ye Old Hippie wood shop, right)
So, he buys the building, equipment, he has insurance, heat, light yada, yada, yada and he pays himself 25K. Is that because the bidness made udels, and he plowed the corporate profits back into paying off the building fast? Like maybe a ten year payback? Mean while Snuffy Cab Driver is paying extra taxes to pick up the tab of our Wood Hippie because he is well educated, sophisticated and is using simple shelters to drive his income down?

Nah. Fugehdabouit!

In defense of the grandparents, the child care center they funded appears to be a memorial to their daughter. The wording of the web page is strange: it says "a living memorial", so it isn't 100% clear whether that means the daughter is still alive, but I take it to mean that it is a place for living children in memory of a deceased daughter.

When you figure what the average grandparents of means spend on their daughter and her children, the idea that they would instead give these funds to this church, which already has the real estate available, to supplement the tuitions at this nursery school does not offend me. I think it's a generous and useful way to remember their daugher.

Especially if they are also helping their son with their other grandchildren's tuitions, I just don't see why the grandparents should be targeted here, so much as their son, who has planned poorly for his family and now that his children have special needs, feels entitled to lash out at the president over not getting even more aid than has already been generously supplied by so many other sources.
