A new U.S. Capitol Visitor Center was opened this week. It is a 580,000 square foot complex underneath the east grounds of the Capitol. It cost $651 million -- $356 million over budget.
Senator Harry Reid (who says paying income tax is voluntary) defended the complex in his remarks at the opening celebration. Reid says they needed it, because American tourists stink. He says in the summertime, they could literally smell them coming down the hall. Now, they won't have to smell the nasty people who give them the privilege to sit in the U.S. Capitol and look down their noses at the people they're taxing into oblivion.
Mr. Essie May says they could have bought a lot of Glade plug-ins for $651 million!
