They are spending fourty million dollars for Dubya's inaugural balls? That

Its not as though that money could have better spent on something more
deserving like education, social security, AIDS research, disaster relief,
etc. The rich have their priorities.




How much did Carter, G.H.W. Bush, Clinton, or Reagan spend? I think the
inaugural is always a big expensive blow-out, no matter whose balls they
are.

AFAIK, education, social security, AIDS research, disaster relief, etc.
are being funded already, and cancelling the inaugural parties would not
make a difference. There's nothing stopping you from writing a big ol'
check and giving it to any one of these causes -- but I guess you have
your priorities.
