Those UN guys sure love to waste money. The link is to a story about renovations on the UN's NYC HQs. They want a loan from the United States for $1.2 billion to renovate. Donald Trump and many other NYC real estate experts said that's ridiculous and it should not cost more than $500 million, and probably not even that high to renovate the UN building. Trump went so far as to say the only way that number got there is through fraud or incompetence. Considering the UN's track record, I bet it's some of both. Anyway, this some of my money being spent here, and I don't like it a bit. I think the UN should deal with working in their current building as is. It's only like 30 years old, so what's the big problem? They just want to steal US money.
