So how much do State Funerals cost?

[TexasMexican]

What the hell, lets have another Reagan thread.

How much do you guesstimate this whole shindig costed?

Would the GAO be able to tell us someday?

2. I'm more concerned about the cost of the Iraq war

which is running into the hundreds of billions.

3. Cue: Carl Sagan...

Billions and billions ...

I don't know, but I bet it could have funded several school systems and homeless shelters for a year.

4. 30-40 years from now...

Will anyone on this board be asking 'How much did Clinton's State Funeral cost the tax payers?' Its an honour reserved for past Presidents, and they are few and far between... Don't sweat the small stuff the "Mess-O-Potemia" is costing ALOT more in lives and money.

5. Well I did think the Ca part was great and classy. It seemed to fit.

It was almost as if it was a stage setting with the sun set and all. And it seemed up to date and like I think Of RR. Course one has to put up with his odd children but they were good also. I did not know one girl was dead. I think the Ca part was just enough and it is really all I watched but for parts of the other. It has been a long time since we have seen a show like this.
