The controversy over inaugural spending

How was it squandered? It paid people here for services- for entertainment, catering, decorations. It was money spent on the equipment, the industries that run these events for their living. It was used to pay salaries- and in turn will be used to pay for benefits, and costs of livng for the people who worked to make these events happen. From the balloons down the the napkins-

(I'm babbling a bit- but I am sure you know what I mean) and in turn- some of that money may leave those pockets and go to some of the very causes you espouse- you don't know.

It is very well and good to give to those causes- it is noble to donate to help those far away, but it is not a bad thing to spread that money domestically.

(good to hear you say I was right)
