Clinton's first inaugural - $33 million. Adjusted for inflation (1992 dollars vs. 2004 dollars) = $ 44,525,302.92.
Clinton's second inaugural - $29.6 million. Adjusted for inflation (1996 dollars vs. 2004 dollars) = $ 35,712,428.30 Bush's first inaugural - $40 million. Adjusted for inflation (2000 dollars vs. 2004 dollars) = $ 43,972,125.44 Bush's second inaugural - $40 million (2004 dollars). So, Clinton holds the record for at least the past 4 inaugurations anyway. No complaints in 1992, none 1996, so why all the complaints now? Oh, I forgot, political partisanship rears it's ugly head in the form of ......... JOBU!!!! http://politicalcp.redstate.org/story/2005/1/15/12341/4696 PS: YES! This is a partisan website, but facts are facts and the facts presented are true. I'm not ashamed to say I AM A REPUBLICAN. Why is JoBu ashamed to say that he is a Democrat? >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Behalf Of Joel Perry >Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2005 8:51 AM >To: 'RollTideFan' >Subject: [RollTideFan] Live from Washington DC.... > > >More money will be spent on the inauguration ($40 million +) than the >government's initial pledge to help the tsunami survivors ($35 million). > >And the band played as the Titanic slowly sank into the frigid waters. > > > >_______________________________________________ >RTF mailing list >RTF@rolltidefan.net >http://rolltidefan.net/mailman/listinfo/rtf_rolltidefan.net > _______________________________________________ RTF mailing list RTF@rolltidefan.net http://rolltidefan.net/mailman/listinfo/rtf_rolltidefan.net
