while I understand "why" obama's inauguration would be the biggest in history, it still gaggles me how much this shit costs. What, do they have stealth fighters flying pattern overhead starting a week before the event itself? I mean, somebody break the numbers down for me. I know paying 20k cops for the day doesn't even come close to a million. Those cops would have to be getting 50k for the day to get to a million, we know that's not true. So what, how does one spend 50 million dollars? You could have the 3rd infantry provide security for this damn thing and still not hit that amount. And parties? What, is there like a giant columbian flake slide at the center of every party? We just rollin in blow and H?? Somebody with an accounting background break this nigga down for me please?
