The U.S. State Department Building a $592 million embassy has nothing to do with the recession. The economic recession has to do with commerce, industry, consumers, and jobs -- not government spending.

That's going to be a very swanky Embassy Foggy I agree, it will be burnt down before it's built - gross disregard for the feelings and essential needs of the Iraq people

The US government is like a really old company run by a bunch of dinosaurs who don't care the least in looking for savings wherever they can.

Yeah, I read that. Makes a hell of a lot of sense. I wish my budget worked that way.

I wonder if that cost more than Saddams palace?

the government isnt on recesion, just the everyday ppl, they still get their taxes so they cand spend their money

its because they had to import most of the building materials
