You don’t think they are spending money making like a statue, right? Monument in this case just means protecting a plot of land from future development.

Have you never visited a national park or monument?? They’re one of the greatest aspects about America. Do you think all the monuments in DC are a waste of tax payer money? Should we just scrap them all and put up more McDonalds and subway restaurants? I mean what a fucking clown ass response that is.

Millions of people from outside the US travel here to see our national parks and monuments. It’s an incredible return on investment.
