So...Did we get our money's worth?? |
|
You can bet your last dollar, that if this were Carter's or Clinton's funeral, we would have a "cost-o-meter" up and running in Times' Square..
Does anyone think that we will ever know how much taxpayer money was spent for the Big Reagasm??
A whole week of pomp & circumstance does not come cheap.. I am in no way suggesting that a president's funeral should be a trip to "Caskets R Us", and some flowers from TeleFlora, but enough's enough..
I really think that these Big events should be reserved for a sitting president, and for each year out of office, the "frills" are reduced..
If his estate or family wants a big deal, then let them pay for it..

I didn't rush to see his casket, or watch any of the coverage on TV, or pay any last respsects, or go to a local gathering, or attend a vigil...
My damn tax dollars helped pay for the whole damn thing. F*ck it.
