“At a billion dollars, this is the same cost as the WTC.”

Can’t be. I just read that it will cost 2 billion just to renovate the UN at around 40 floors. So the WTC, at about 120 floors must be a kazillion dollars. A billion is chicken feed. I am sure George Soros will be happy to help out his leftist friends rebuild. I saw GW say the gubrment would pay up. Why should GW promise my money to help pay for millionaires to rebuild? Don’t they have fire insurance? What the hell is the point in paying insurance premiums if Uncle Sugar will pick up the tag.

Wait a minute....... I can stop paying for health care. I can stop paying for homeowners insurance. I will be able to stop paying car insurance once we all drive mopeds. Soon I won’t need a gun because the government will disarm all the criminals. I can live safe and free from all worries once the government controls everything. Why, it sounds like paradise..............or Utopia.

BWAHAHAHA - that is such a boondoggle with everyone and their mother on the payroll.

“At $1 billion, it would approach the cost of the World Trade Center for which construction was completed in 1970 in nominal dollar terms”
