I am a huge Abe Lincoln fan and history buff. I love visiting historical sites in whatever town I visit. Here comes the but...But $15 million to restore Lincoln's cottage......geesh! Abe spent some summertime time there. Ok and that should be celebrated indeed and the place should be preserved. But here we are in the worst housing crisis Americans have faced and we spend (ok, private philanthropy spends) $15 million to rehab a cottage! All those mortgage payments folks can't make and we spend $15 million to rehab one old house. Where are our priorities?
