Rep. Weiner: Divert inauguration money for troops
Now this is the type of idea I could support:
Rep. Anthony Weiner wants President Bush to cancel next week's inaugural party-fest and use the $40 million to give soldiers in Iraq extra pay or better equipment.This is some great thinking from a man who could be the next mayor of New York City.
In a letter sent to fellow Congressional members, Weiner (D-Brooklyn/Queens) notes that two former U.S. presidents — President Roosevelt and President Wilson — opted to scale down their inaugural parties when America was at war.
