Our tax dollars. There was a time in America when wealthy families donated their own money for these sorts of things. Libraries, unviversities, hospitals and parks all over New England were often built by philanthropists. Not so the Kennedies:
"The federal government has approved $5 million for the construction of the first building on the Rose Kennedy Greenway, a 2,500-square-foot pavilion that is intended to serve as a "gateway" to the Boston Harbor Islands national park area."
"....The funding was included in a $410 billion federal spending bill that was passed by Congress Tuesday night and signed by President Obama today. The bill also included $22 million for an addition to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum and $5 million for the new Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the Senate."
The Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the Senate?!
Do we really need to subsidize the Kennedies, one of the wealthiest and most politically powerful families in the country? Ayy gevalt!
