The Democrats are again using their own special brand of economics; this time to "update" the lighting system at the Whitehouse...

WASHINGTON - The warm white glow of the Capitol dome may soon go green, part of an effort by Democratic congressional leaders to save energy and
modernize the District's nocturnal landscape.
Republicans and other critics consider the project's early phase wasteful, and they question whether a $671,900 contract to design the lighting
system was steered by Rep. Robert A. Brady (D-Pa.), chairman of the House Administration Committee, to a company in his home district.
The annual electric bill is nearly $15,000.

So we are going to spend 671 Grand (Just the design mind you) and we are now paying only 15 Grand a year....
That means we will break even in.......
44.72 YEARS!!!!
Or The Year of Our Lord... 2053...
NOW That is some HUGE savings....
My electric at my house runs between 2 and 3 thousand a year.. I figure 15K for lighting the exterior of the Whitehouse is pretty efficient...
Just the Liberals wanting to spend more of your hard earned money...
