I tend to agree. Still, if the movement had a mere 200 million in assets and invested them/mortgaged them to provide a meager 6% interest per year, they could still pay for these 2000 butt-bouncers using only the interest, without touching a penny of the principal. It's irrelevant in any case because I think we all know there's not a ghost of a chance that Maharishi will ever dig into his own pockets to pay for any of his plans. For that matter, I suspect we all know that after the first month or two the promised 500 bucks will never be paid anyway, no matter where it comes from. The donors will probably be expected to keep paying it to the TMO, but the TMO will never forward it to the people on the courses.
