Financial Accountability: Cancel Inauguration Parties
Published 2004-12-31 by Randy Peterman
From Mark Cuban: Do the Right Thing - Cancel Inauguration Parties. If the innauguration parties are going to cost 4o million dollars (partisanship aside here) lets dump them in favor of other things. In my lifetime I will most likely never see that amount of money, many of my readers likewise will not see that much money. Lets not spend it fivolously on parties for a president that has already had one and will just be continuing on in office. I think there are thousands if not more than a million people all over the globe, including tsunami vicitms who need the resources more than some ritzy folks need a party that they helped fund and create.

I agree with this. Especially after all the crazy money that was spent frivilously during the election campaigns (on both sides) - no need for this huge party right now. We are at war, countries need help - and in a huge deficit btw.
