Steve,
No argument about your figures but I don't think taking todays dollar amounts and then comparing what something 8 years ago would cost in today dollars is very compelling. Just as I don't like the so called new records that every movie and sports event sets. It is set by the amount of money they take in, and back when the great classic movies were made the cost was what? maybe a dollar. I think the records should be by number of people, races won, and etc, not by the fact they won more money. And yes, I have *****ed about every inauguration that I can remember. Why can't they just go have the chief justice swear them in and save all the parties so they can show of their $90K dresses. Oh well at least you and I can disagree and not get into a name calling fight. Turd!!!
