I really hate reading stuff like this. With all of the homeless and really poor people in the USA--they should receive priority funding over foreign projects like this. We couldve provided quality housing for EVERY homeless person in the country with what we have spent in Iraq over 5 years and had enough left over to finish rebuilding New Orleans upgraded every school in America that needs it and created 20k new jobs. Yes that is the money we spent in Iraq was enough money that wouldve kept us out of the position we are in--perhaps if we had government concentration focused on the uS--we also couldve steered clear of the main problem the country faces.
600mm? I thought that was the knicks payroll under Isiah.
Talk about a waste!
