Priorities

Oh, this is too much. Atrios points out that Bush's inauguration will cost $30-40 million not including security costs.. Oddly, this is pretty close to the $35 million ($15 mill originally, plus the additional $20 mill) we're sending to help out after the incredible disaster in Asia which killed at least 52,000 people. Even if it is only a down payment, you'd think we could send more than we're spending for a party...
