I saw a number of $225 million for the inauguration. It's crazy how much money is being spent.

Yeah. I don't understand it. You would think if someone was REALLY into "making a change"...they would do what they have been touting they would do...cancel all the hoopla BS that is costing that 225 million, and do something else with it.

THAT would have made an impact to me. As far as I am concerned...I am only seeing more of the same shit happening. Just someone different wearing the suit.

Change my ass.

And I am not too happy with him wanting to give Income Tax Rebate checks to people who didn't pay friggin Income Tax. WTF is that?! Can you imagine how much bigger our rebate checks would be if the same amount of money was split between people who actually paid Income Taxes??

Wonder if we can get him to give us other things we might not have paid into...except this time maybe something I personally didn't pay into...so I can actually benefit from it...I don't know...like give me someone else's 401K or something when I retire....

The inauguration has always been unbelievably expensive. Besides, its not Obama who planned this anyways, its just the way its always been done. Do I agree with it...no of course not.
