In reply to the discussion: Why Is The US Building A Secret $100 Million Underground Facility Outside Tel Aviv? [View all]Marrah_G
(28,581 posts)4. I was under the impression that we were broke....
I mean.... we are about to go over a cliff and need to cut programs to help the poor and the middle class, right?
Certainly if we are so broke, we can't be building underground facilities for other countries. I mean it must be for another country if the religious requirements of the building are all accurate.
If it were an American government building separation of church and state would mean for something. What sort of American government buildings would need such specific religious orders included in the building of it?

Plus you have to properly attend to all doors and other apertures in the building.
