I find it mildly disturbing that this is the most expensive inauguration and most disturbing that it is being paid for by private funds. I'm sure there will be no special favors granted for this largesse.

Don't get me wrong the dems are just as bad as the reps when it comes to money.

I propose that we do away with the big salaries for all elected positions. I say we draft people, just like we do for jury duty and used to do for the military, to run in these elections. Everyone has to serve a certain number of terms to satisfy their obligation to the state. And the pay is minimal.
