WASHINGTON — The pomp surrounding the inauguration of the president of the United States can carry a hefty price tag, but the cost of this inauguration won’t be as big as the last one for President Obama.
Taxpayers will not cover the cost of the balls and other celebratory events, just things like preparing the inaugural platform, sprucing up the Capitol grounds, and providing security. A solid chunk of the tab for the 57th inauguration next month will be picked up by loyal supporters and other private donors, as it has been for years.

Oh goodie... wunnafullest guy in the white House ever. . . Barry the O must be up to something. . . He may think that being inauguration cheaper will cause the U.S. public to see him as a wise financial leader. . . Or maybe he just knows he won't be able to use stimulus funds to pay for the tributes he expects to be paid to himself. . . It's all hokum pokum. . . Barry doesn't know when to quit campaigning. . . That is the only thing he has done since he quit teaching lawyers how to constitutionally chase ambulances. . .
Say what, bro?
