So, why would it seem to be appropriate to spend over 100 million dollars (approaching the 150 million) on a big party to celebrate a new president when our economy is so stretched? I am sure a new president deserves a celebration and a party with plenty of good stuff, but why the elaborate stuff and all?
On the same note, why do we pay pro athletes and actors in hollywood so much to act? When an athlete gets a new 130 million dollar contract to play baseball and then the city for whom he plays turns around and asks the community for 300 million to pay for a new stadium for these over paid athletes to play in, and then will charge them a pretty hefty fee to watch the athlete play in that stadium? Seems a little backwards or over the top to me.
I am just sayin.

Overpaid? Maybe. But it's all relative. Actors and athletes alike just get a percentage of admissions, which is fair, considering we're paying to see them, so why shouldn't the money go to them? We can't really point at them for getting paid so much when we're the ones making them so darned rich.
However, I can't argue with you on the big party budget. Ridiculous.
