Given I do use it I am inclined to contribute $$ as we all have bills to pay. Do you, or, should I ask are you willing to show your P&L statement. Not so interested in who contributes like Hillary Clinton but how is the money spent and what is the budget? I love the blog and am curious to see how you spend the priorities. Thank you.
