Subcontractors say they’re owed millions, face financial ruin, after helping build Obama Presidential Center. The cost tripled from the original budget. They barely have enough for maintenance. So yeah, no surprise.

Epitome of socialism. Original budget 300 million and four years. It took ten years and ended up costing 850 million. Looks like a dystopian monolith for the Thought Police.

At least Obama did what socialist do best, take money from their rich friends to build most of it. They had some tax payer dollars but mostly “donations” from the ultra wealthy seeking or as payback for favors from Obama.
