If Hellary and Skerry turn into pillars of salt, we can call it even.
It’s Sharia compliant so that is okay.
“The piece by Irish-born artist Sean Scully”—”Where we can promote cross-cultural understanding... we think that’s a good use of our limited resources,”
I didn’t think we had much difficulty in understanding the Irish. Doesn’t Biden have a home in Ireland? I don’t understand Biden any better because of a pile of bricks. Wait a minute...
I should like to sell the government a pile of bricks, being a TEA Party fan I believe it would promote cultural understanding. Heck, I could pay off everything with that kind of money with most of left to stash in a bank.
It’s a pile of rocks.
Two factors were most likely at work here:
- First, spend any money left in the budget so next year’s baseline budget will keep going up,
- And second, spend it on a friend. I wonder who got the commission on the sale and how large it was?
I wondered who dug that out of my garbage.
That’s pretty hideous.
We need to stop all this stuff until our budget is balanced and the national debt is paid off.
And detroit needs to sell it’s art, maybe not every single piece, but a great deal.
Isn’t that what an asset is for - something you can sell when you need $$?
Go to any Home Depot (brick pavers etc) and get much more than this for a fraction of the cost. Yeah government is the answer.
1 million dollars of taxpayer money for crap,
and not 1 cent to get the Benghazi murderers.
This administration didn’t even bother to put the White House flag at half staff at the death of Margaret Thatcher, but raced to do it for Mandela. Racism is an occurring event with Barry in charge. Spending taxpayer money like it’s Greek currency is a signature Barry has no intention of ever balancing a budget.
For a dollar they could have gotten a pet rock. Complete with a leash.
Well bryan999, your post has incited me to rage and rant. It will now be entombed in the bowels of FR. A rant by a anonymous person lurking the internet though I would say this to anyone from the highest soapbox on speaker’s corner in my loudest and most politically incorrect voice. To my detractors I would say tough, I don’t care what you think either. To those willing to debate, give it your best shot.
I’m using this picture of this pile of crap for my desktop background. It is yet another symbol of government waste, fraud and abuse of the taxpayer. Another would be a picture of a crackhead with a snot nosed, wet eyed, sickly dependent kid on her hip. Poor, stupid, abused, bitter and filled with hatred. Stuck in her squalid setting while the baby daddy that knocked her up is out beating the hell out of some taxpayer. Do you or anyone else expect me to feel sorry or responsible for this? This is the new face of Amerika and it is an insult to good, hard working, responsible people. People are where they are because of the decisions they make. Hardly any of the time are they where they are because of something someone else did to them. That excuse is mostly just that, an excuse and a lie.
40% tax rates. A 60/40 split of what successful people earn. This is the “reward” for success. How many of you or anybody else would put up all the money, take all the risk and do all the work to give 40% of it to someone else so that they could use it against you, support your enemies, to foil your efforts, give to others who laugh at you, don’t work, make babies for you to support, take drugs, rob you and even kill you? Maybe, maybe half of what I pay is for things I find useful or think are necessary. The rest of what I pay is wasted and used against me.
I see very little hope for this country in what is left of my lifetime. If the country recovers it will take decades for real change. I doubt that will come though and that instead we will continue to be tossed in an avalanche to destruction or to continue to ride the roller coaster of hope and defeat we have been on for at least 50 years. This country is all but equally divided between workers and takers. All have an equal vote. That is a shame and wrong as well. That is not liberty. That is lazy and useless people waiting for an opportunity to steal from honorable working people. Unless we are willing to allow the failure to be complete are willing to live with whatever rises from the ashes the political process will not save our once great nation. The unspoken alternative is clear. A house divided against itself cannot stand. Somebody else said that once upon a time and they were all too right.
I used to have a pile of old bricks behind my garage. I didn’t realize they were art, and I got rid of them.
I could have sold them to the government for $1 million.
Dumb.
The portrayal of the central government in the “Hunger Games” makes more and more sense
IF, and that's a big if, that is the intent, then the "artist" (preschooler playing with blocks) can DONATE the damned piece of garbage instead of raping the American taxpayer!
