Guest Seb Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Ladies and gentleman' date=' I decided to investigate this further. I noticed that Clinton spent $33 million on his inauguration back in 1993. Well, your fellow Cool Junkie took the privelege of adjusting $33 million for inflation to the year 2005. The result is:$44,583,000 in 2005 dollars!! compared to Bush's $40 million in 2005 dollars. Does anyone think the mainstream press will pick up on this? I doubt it. It proves, that despite a "shaky economy" in 1991 (or at least that's what Clinton said to get elected), he spent more on his inauguration then Dubya has if you adjust the dollars for inflation. Anyone who cares to dispute this can do a Google search for an "inflation calculator" and do the math yourself. Did you use this equation: PV = FV * (1+i)^-n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest slamminshaun Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Haha...no, didn't use the present value formula. I found an inflation calculator on the Net that did the calcluation for me. Everyone's riding Bush's ass about him being the "biggest spender", when the truth is Clinton spent more when you adjust the dollars for inflation. Amazing.

Guest web_norah Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 ps for you patriots...here is a little food for thoughtDuring the depression FDR cancelled the inagural ball because he felt how can he celebrate during a time when the country was in depression....makes sense. he was a sensible man.Lincoln went on with his inaguration but gave money to the families of dead civil war soldiersBush doesnt give a *** - tis all exemplified as he swings his golf club on MMoores clip....thats classic Bush stupidity. oh well. the cattle re-elected him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgibson Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 I thought the one message that came out over and over again during the inauguration stuff was a feeling and spirit of bi-partisanship, with all sides coming together to show that even though there was a winner and loser, both sides will celebrate democracy.I think it's a big win for the world to see that working.oh yeah, and...TI...ES...TO!!! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
