On a related note and because people visiting a memorial is much more important than providing jobs for 800,000 or food for the poor
..........I wonder how many people could be fed for 30 days with $150,000?
RNC offers to pay for WWII memorial guardsWASHINGTON, DC — The Republican National Committee is offering the United States government a check to pay for guards at the National World War II Memorial, chairman Reince Priebus announced Wednesday.
“We’re willing to pay the bill,” said Priebus, who was speaking to reporters as he stood in front of a fence at the memorial.
The memorial had been the site of a dramatic encounter Tuesday between visiting World War II veterans and a fence erected to keep visitors out. The National Parks Service argued the government shutdown left them with no personnel to guard and maintain the open air memorial.
According to Priebus, the RNC is willing to pay for five guards who would watch over the memorial, what the party committee estimated to be a $150,000 expenditure for 30 days, Priebus said.
