$170 million dollar inauguration…uhmm, and how does this make sense?

January 20th, 2009

First let me say that I’m in no way condemning the Inauguration of Obama, but I do believe in the concept of overkill.  When I read the article by Scott Mayerowitz of the ABC News Business Unit about how much money was spent, my mind initially went into entrepreneur mode and was like YES,  this is why I love this country, it will capitalize on any and everything!

But further into my thought process, I began to think about how we’re in the in the middle of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression and questioned is this best way that donors as well as the government could/should be spending $170 million dollars?  The humanitarian in me is hopeful that this day has created income for many of those who are really in need.

And to all of those who made the trip to DC in order to take part of this historic day, I encourage you all to continue using the same energy and focus in order to make your life better!
