So let one team march and the other prance. All inclusive.
Let the team that pays for their own parade march. The "homo parades" only cost the tax payer for the police working the parade and the permitting costs. The massive military parade will cost millions of tax payer dollars. So if you want to have the tax payers pay for the police presence and the permitting, and let private donors foot the bill for the rest of the cost, I have no problem.
It’s about team USA and national pride. If you had any you would understand this.
I have plenty of pride in my country. If it takes a parade to show yours it isn't real.
My complaint is not about the military at all. It is about spending millions of dollars on something that may lift morale for a week or so. We are trillions of dollars in debt. Spending MUST be brought under control if this nation is to survive as a world power. Our children and their children will be saddled with this debt.
And do you think Congress will pay back the $2.8 trillion they borrowed from Social Security when the debt keeps climbing?
If you think spending $23 million on a parade is being fiscally responsible, you are no conservative.
