On top of an $18.9 million Defense Department grant doled out in Sept. 2010, the Institute received $13.6 million from the Department of Education, according to USASpending.gov. In the 2009 federal budget, another $5.8 million was appropriated through the Department of Labor and the Department of Health and Human Services.
The state of Massachusetts gave the University of Massachusetts $5 million, earmarked for the Institute. As a senator in 2010, current Sec. of State John Kerry waged an unsuccessful attempt to earmark another $28.9 million for the museum

the $18.9 million Defense Department earmark was “funneled through the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee.” That panel was once led by Kennedy pals, the late Hawaii Sen. Daniel Inouye and the late Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens,

Can’t let the private citizenry inherit wealth as the Kennedy Klan does.
Why can’t the Kennedy’s use their own money ..??
Seems a lot of money to post up some KGB files exposing treason.

Haven’t heard about the shrine until now. I assume its a monument of a car that drove off a bridge under water with a young woman drowning and 100 million aborted babies floating on the surface, most of them black.
Let me guess, nary a peep from the GOP when these funds were ‘appropriated’; you’d think it was the GOVT’s $$ instead of the taxpayers’.
Use your own friggin’ cash, Kennedy clan!
Kennedy still trying to find ways to gouge us. Few politicians were more destructive to America in the 20th century than Kennedy.
Ol’ Quagmire Shrine .. not on my bucket list.
Ted Kennedy’s foul career cost the US taxpayer trillions of dollars, cost hundreds of millions of people (some of) their freedom, and cost Mary Jo Kopechne her life.
The treasonous commie swine lady killer shrine. What a joke.
Glad the world hates me if it loves people like this.
Thanks...If this was under most any other administration it would be unbelievable but not under _resident 0bama.
Spend $38M to honor a lowlife scum and turn around and propose a 20% reduction for Military Retirements. Pathetic.
Kinda makes your stomach churn doesn’t it?
Submerge car front down in the vodka and voila!
A lot more than the Kennedy’s paid Jo Kopechne’s family ($250,000 and in today’s dollars: $1,592,335)
“The stated mission of the Edward M. Kennedy Institute is to teach the general public about how the U.S. Senate works, so it’s fitting that the shrine to the late Massachusetts Democrat is funded, in part, by $38 million in taxpayers’ money.”
LMAO....here is how it works.....Senator A will vote for Senator B’s pet project that will reap him multi-million dollar kickbacks if Senator B will vote for Senator A’s pet projects. They all use taxpayer money to line their own pockets.
The jury is still out as to whether what Fat Teddy "accomplished" will cost us our survival as a Constitutional Republic. It isn't just Mary Jo who he drove off the bridge into the dark and deadly waters. It's all of us.
