Are we upset by the money spent for the inauguration events?

Asked by kelly (1918points) January 18th, 2009

Estimates are $150 million for the festival plus $75—$100 million for extra security to be paid by Virginia, Maryland and DC taxpayers. (Congress only authorized $15 million to reimburse DC) Plus the hundreds of millions paid by attendees. IT IS OBSCENE!!! In these times, how excessive. How many thousands of cases of food would this have provided to food pantries, etc. I feel It is a taste of spending to come.
