John Hindraker notes that there is something fishy going on at the U.N.. They are renovating the U.N. facilities with taxpayer dollars at a staggering cost of $1.2 Billion. Given the U.N. estimate for square footage, that works out to more than $450 a square foot. If you don't believe their suspect figures for total square footage, it's actually more like $1100 a square foot. Those in the industry say that commerical renovation should be priced anywhere from $50 to $250 per square foot. Both figures are well above even the most extreme market estimates.

Hindraker puts this into perspective even more. The U.N. is renovating a 39-story building for $1.2 Billion. The Donald (as in Trump) recently built a brand new lavish 90-story building for $350 Million. That's less than one third of the price and it's new construction. Trump even met with U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan and offered to do the work himself for under $500 Million. The U.N. has not responded to the offer.

Looking at the evidence and the United Nation's past history of financial mismanagement and scandal, one has to wonder if officials are keeping part of the pie for themselves.
