WHITE HOUSE GARDEN

**c* d* <c*@frontiernet.net>**

I THINK IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA TO TOTAL UP WHat this organic garden  
is going to cost and find out what the cost to produce the vegetables  
is going to be, Pretty expensive per item I think. They won't pay  
taxes on the land or the cost of the money invested because that will  
be taxpayer funds.  The labor,Grounds Dept. employee (?), will be  
substantial. Then amortize the cost of setting it up.
If it is made into a real show piece it would be nice for visitors to  
see, but wouldn't it be better to find suppliers in the nearby  
countryside, Virginia and Maryland, who are already in the org, veg.  
business and give them the business.  The White House would have what  
it wants and the growers would benefit.  Everybody wins.
