Funds to Reopen Statue
Mouthing words like “democracy” and “freedom,” our president prods Congress into approving $87.5 billion more for his Middle East adventure. Meanwhile, funding for the reopening of the Statue of Liberty, the American symbol of democracy and freedom, depends on what amounts to a national bake sale by the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation (Nov. 9). Shamefully, this gives a whole new meaning to the expression “shock and awe.”
