Amazing

How is this setting an example? I understand the initiative, but at least practice what you preach.

The Tea Party favorites Hannity, Levin, Limbaugh, etc. are taking down $22 million a year from the Koch brothers..AKA Tea Party Patriots and Heritage foundation. So if you are a Tea Partier 4 or 5 million from the Koch brother is equal to $300,000 from the libs. The Tea Party has their hands in so much of media and government they probably need to get some more hands.

If someone wants to waste 25k a month of their own money, I don't care.

It's actually public money. CUNY is a public institution.

Well then, that's sad. You could likely get better advice off the streets of NYC for maybe a few pints.

You didn't expect Krugman to practice what he preaches did you? Look around, most of the biggest mouth pieces for "income equality" are making big bucks and giving away very little.

Again, you TRULY dont understand the scope of income equality going on if you think 225K is anything, its a pittance. He doesn't even make it to the 1%

And the income inequality he is discussing isn't even the 1% its the .1%!

Talk about thread fail.
