U.N. Breaks Ground on Renovations to Headquarters, But Will it Break the Bank?
Quote:
Donning blue U.N. hard hats and carrying shovels, officials broke ground Monday on the $1.9 billion renovation project to revamp the organizations' world headquarters in New York City, which some critics warn may cost American taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars.
And who will pay for this monstrosity of a project?
Quote:
For example, China will contribute $39 million, Russia $21 million and Iran will contribute less than $3 million. The U.S. which funds about a quarter of the U.N.s budget will contribute $400 million more than any other country.
Blood may be boiling now but at least we get a good quote out of this:
Quote:
Niles Gardiner, director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at the Heritage Foundation, said the renovations could cost American taxpayers millions of dollars in overspending.
The United Nations is incapable of running a high school musical effectively and efficiently; there is no reason to suggest that the U.N. is able to run a large-scale renovation project of this kind on budget and on time," Gardiner said.
stole this from TMR , Thanks Thumby!!
