I can only imagine how much that could cost. Having just seen the video with the thousands of homeless veterans in NYC, I think its pathetic they can feel good about spending that kind of money for something so frivolous. Imagine how much praise the Giants would get if they said, all the money that was going to be spent on the parade and press events will be donated to take care of the people without homes. It is a very twisted sense of priorities. Here’s an interesting video to add to your point:

Better education? More funding for the arts and sciences? Nicer parks? Investments in technology? Research in hopes to make the world better? Even better, who do you think we owe the debt to, but one of the last and largest stronghold of Communism! Just think of all the wonderful programs our nation could have with HALF of the cost of war.
