Bush library, and the annual upkeep cost is less, too! Really? Where is the GW Bush library located? sorry, George H.W. Bush, College Station, TX Can you post some figures to support your claim? Our resident "King of the NG idiots" apparently is quite math impaired. "Brian Blake, public relations specialist at the Bush Library, said the total cost of the library was $83 million, less than half of what SMU may have access to. Blake said the library museum cost $43 million, with private funds from the Bush Foundation, while the library conference center and the Bush School of Government and Public Service cost $40 million. The funding, he said, came from state and A&M money." http://www.thebatt.com/news/2002/12/...y-515078.shtml "Mr. Clinton's cost $165 million," http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...2004Nov17.html Oh, contrai "Over the years, presidential libraries have evolved into multi-purpose institutes that, in addition to housing the official papers of a former President, can include museums, conference facilities, and classrooms. The cost of these facilities can be substantial. According to the George Bush Presidential Library Center Construction and Fact Sheet, the George Bush Presidential Library Center honoring President George H.W. Bush cost approximately $83 million to construct; roughly half of that cost was defrayed by private contributions to the George Bush Presidential Library Foundation, with the remainder funded by Texas A&M University. A December 6, 2001 article in The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports that construction of the Clinton Presidential Center is expected to cost $104 million. The Clinton Presidential Library cost has been defrayed by private contributions in excess of $70 million, bringing it's total taxpayer cost of only $34 million." As you can see, it cost the taxpayer's more for Bush's legacy, than for Clinton's. By the way, the costliest to run and maintain? Reagan's. Not so fast. This site shows the cost of Clintons library to be $165 million. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6521909/ Regardless, you can see that public funds often go in to pay for political events and structures. So why are your shorts in a knot over the cost of security for today's inauguration? I said it before, but perhaps it just didn't hit your brain. Do you recall when Bush was on the mat for not pledging enough to the Tsunami victims? HE said that the public should donate, not the government. IF he were a man of honor, he would now say to those donating, instead of $40 million dollars being spent to honor ME, please send that money to the victims. But, alas, he didn't do that, because he, and his followers, see him as larger than life. Add to that the HUGE deficit he's rung up in the name of BushCo War, Inc., and one could only come to the conclusion that he doesn't give a damned about anybody but himself and his mega-rich cronies. Get a life. For asslicker........the NG is his life. |
