Ashley...I saw your posts over there. They werent the only ones slinging dirt.
ok, I was not sure if she was being nice/rude/negative/positive towards me![]()
I just saw Lucy and couldn't make any sense of the comment![]()
and btw, my name is Ashley not Lucy, I know some people know that but it is confusing by my user name. Lucy is my dog![]()
The underside of my left toe is quite attractive in comparison to the rest of me! So...I've got THAT going for me!!!
Well, I guess I'll post my response here and take my chances that someone will think I'm racist or whatever. Below is the point I was trying to make when I started that thread.
Where to begin? First, let me say when I read this post, I hoped it was a child that wrote it, because the whole "the last guy spent this much" argument is sooo very childish. This isn't about the last guy, this is about the new guy stepping up to the plate and showing some financial responsibility in our current economic situation.
Second, you want perspective? Okay, here goes... on average, a typical, urban US homeless shelter houses approximately 100,000 people per year. This includes more than 16,000 children.
The cost to operate said shelter, on average, runs approximately between $300-$500K per year.
Soo....if instead of spending approximately $160 million dollars on the inauguration, that money (or even 1/2 of that money!) was allocated toward HUD and it's many homeless programs, how many US citizens could we have helped? There is MY perspective!!
Racist??? The only "color" I'm seeing right now is green and our new leader's lack of responsibility with it!!!!!!!
