Billionaire investor donates 7.5 million to help repair Washington Monument

[Danzig]

do you know how many tourist dollars are made from people going to d.c. to see things like that big D*ck as you put it? i can only imagine all the money spent by the hundreds of thousands of visitors to the mall and it's monuments and museums. no doubt all that helps the local economy, and a lot of people, plenty. i'm glad someone stepped up to provide private funds, so public funds can go to worthwhile programs like the ones you mentioned. and if that fellow is as philanthropically minded as he seems to be, i doubt the washington monument is the only thing he's giving toward.
