$461 Million To Be Spent On New Training Center For Diplomats
The State Department will build a new training center at Fort Pickett, Va. The state's Congressional delegation says it's a done deal. Courses will prepare diplomats and other government employees for assignments at dangerous posts around the globe. The Foreign Affairs Security Training Center will consolidate training now done at facilities nationwide. The State Department estimates construction at $461 million, of which some has been appropriated. The 2012 attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya, underscored the need for better training. The Virginia Army National Guard base, southwest of Richmond, beat out sites in Maryland, Georgia, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

This is ridiculous - spend, spend, spend, enough is enough already. Stop all the stupid spending. Sure am glad they don't run this household - we would be out on the street.
