Wake up! We're going into a recession. Even Trump admitted it yesterday. -- Blah 03/30/2020 10:27AM

But the arts are just pansy librul BS. Real Americans have no use for ‘em. ** -- SixerHoo 03/30/2020 11:35AM

Which only reinforces the absurdity of sending money to the Kennedy ctr -- HokieDan95 03/30/2020 10:51AM

Absolutely. That money could have gone to The Wall. ** -- SixerHoo 03/30/2020 11:32AM

Great. It's absurd. What is that going to do? We're going into ... -- Blah 03/30/2020 11:03AM

All that fear mongering and you can't think of a better way to use $25M? ** -- Hoodafan 03/30/2020 11:43AM

Fear mongering? It's simple economics. If people don't go back ... -- Blah 03/30/2020 11:48AM

They didn’t send money to the Kennedy Center. They appropriated money -- 111Balz 03/30/2020 10:52AM

$25M to maintain a building that's closed. That doesn't seem high to you? -- Hoodafan 03/30/2020 10:59AM

I don’t disagree that’s a lot of money. I assume a significant portion of -- 111Balz 03/30/2020 11:15AM

That you think that supports your point and not mine is I guess -- 111Balz 03/30/2020 12:27PM

Do you really need to clean an empty building? -- RML Hoos 03/30/2020 11:29AM

Yes. You do need to clean empty buildings. ** -- DanTheFan 03/30/2020 11:42AM

Again this was a new it’s a continuation. And at some point the building -- 111Balz 03/30/2020 11:39AM

You’re showing your ignorance again. You’re just -- 111Balz 03/30/2020 10:00AM

Why? And of course, please show your work. ** -- Hoodafan 03/30/2020 10:12AM

It is shown in the posts below. Educate yourself. But here’s a hint -- 111Balz 03/30/2020 10:17AM

Yes I saw your claim below after that post. So a few obvious questions leap -- Hoodafan 03/30/2020 10:25AM

Or you could just go read the damn bill. I think it’s in the miscellaneo -- 111Balz 03/30/2020 10:35AM

Or you could actually support your claim of "fact". ** -- Hoodafan 03/30/2020 10:39AM

So I’ve read the bill and you haven’t, yet you’re arguing with me. ** -- 111Balz 03/30/2020 10:40AM

BTTTS. Really just no point in engaging that stupid fuck. ** -- WahooRQ 03/30/2020 10:48AM

What’s with some of these people who refuse to go to the source -- 111Balz 03/30/2020 11:22AM

Did you even bother to read that Hokie's article in the OP before chiming -- Hoodafan 03/30/2020 11:34AM

As usual you dumb ass you’re accusing me of saying things I didn’t say -- 111Balz 03/30/2020 12:34PM

Or simply say refer to page 722 out of 880 (since he read the whole thing). ** -- BFKDHokies 03/30/2020 11:46AM

Thanks for adding demean to his dismiss and deflect. Of course you could -- Hoodafan 03/30/2020 10:54AM

People need to realize this is in the face of a $200M+ expansion. -- ryno hoo 03/30/2020 09:59AM

Disingenuous. As the article you link to mentions, that money was raised -- RickPerry 03/30/2020 10:38AM

No, it was showing how much money they just spent regardless of source. -- ryno hoo 03/30/2020 12:06PM

The Kennedy Center is a quasi-federal institution. -- DanTheFan 03/30/2020 09:43AM

If you are keeping a report card on who benefits from the stimulus package -- Guy LeDouche 03/30/2020 09:00AM

How much will Trump and relatives' corporations reap? That is a much more -- 81_Hokie 03/30/2020 08:56AM

Most of the country is in survival mode...and The Kennedy Center wants to -- Tuckahokie 03/30/2020 10:02AM

Actually, a recession is the perfect time for such expenditures -- RickPerry 03/30/2020 10:41AM

I get it...but not sure this is really a recession. Maybe the metrics will -- Tuckahokie 03/30/2020 10:51AM

Your assumptions are flawed. Look up Mohamed El Erian and economics -- RickPerry 03/30/2020 11:43AM

All of it. Every single bit of it. ** -- Hokieesith 03/30/2020 09:57AM

Didn't the stimulus package exclude Trump businesses, specifically? ** -- Hoogle.com 03/30/2020 09:40AM

We'll see... It also provides for congessional oversight that Trump has -- 81_Hokie 03/30/2020 09:54AM

But that's the stupidity of Dem on this. Give an opening for GOP attack -- JohnHoo2 03/30/2020 09:44AM

They’re allowing some of these add-ons to be taken out of context -- 111Balz 03/30/2020 10:02AM

GOP would find something else to attack. -- DanTheFan 03/30/2020 09:59AM

Original reporting on this was in WaPo. ** -- JMHoo 03/30/2020 10:22AM

Yes they reported it and there’s nothing wrong with it. It’s a rare example -- 111Balz 03/30/2020 10:41AM
