Capitol Visitor Center Finally Opens...Way Over Budget

Another great example of why we don't want the government expanding its role in the economy. The Capitol Visitor Center is finally finished - 3 years behind schedule and at a cost of $621 million, or nearly 9x more than its original budget. Nice work guys - job well done.

*Update*
Sen. DeMint does not like it, saying that it is also a generally Left-leaning center that omits some integral attributes about the origination of our government.
