Listening to the news recently, I almost choked when I heard that President Bush's second inaugural party is going to cost $30 million. We have problems with Social Security, hunger in America, a national budget deficit of gargantuan proportions, the underfunded fighting in Iraq and numerous other causes that the taxpayers are putting out for, and now we have to pay $30 million for another inaugural party for someone who should never have been elected to a second term?
