Party at the White House

This saying to my wonderful left pretty much sums up how most Americans feel about the latest concert at the White House.

Fox News reported the shin-dig cost $1.3 million dollars! For one stinkin' night. Cheese & rice.

Granted there are millions of people in this country, so hypothetically put 1.3 million people in a room & take a dollar from each. Then the number doesn't sound so bad.

When it comes right down to it, I'm not slamming the White House for doing it. I particularly like how the Obamas use publicity to their advantage. They are making politics cool again with the younger generations. They're also highly relatable to the American people and I can't stop oogling over Michelle Obama's gorgeous arms. It makes my day every time she bares arms. Let's get one thing straight right now- bad press or good press is still press. Think about it.


However, there are other things the White House could of done with $1,300,000.00 to make better use of this huge amount of money.

Every one's paychecks in this economy are sucking. Probably most would laugh at you if you told them to take say $200 out of their budget for a pair of tickets to go to a concert. I know personally that if you told me to set aside any amount of money for a concert, I'd fart in your general direction. Seriously. While we're on this poopy discussion, put on your boots... because the BS is gettin' deep. I live paycheck to paycheck, yo! I don't have the $200 to spend on a concert. Thanks, but no thanks. I'd rather keep my lights on and my milk at a comfortable 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

Chew on this... you know that saying that like 80% of the country's wealth is controlled by like 20%? Well, I don't know of a fixed investment right now that yields over 1% in interest. If the rich ain't making interest on their money right now, how the heck do you expect them to create more jobs? Where, my darling, do you think they get the money to boost the economy & lower the unemployment rates? It's called compounded interest, people. Executives in no way, shape or form are going to cut the caviar out of their lifestyle to create jobs. Job creation money has to come from somewhere that won't impact how their families live. God forbid. I've been looking for a job forever & I am happy to report that the only offers on the table are all commission with ZERO health benefits. Thanks, business owners. Thanks. So much for a stable salary.

Let's take that figure of $1,300,000.00 again & break down what the government could of done with that money.

• 1.3 mill / $30,000.00 = 43.33 people could of been employed with salaries at $30,000.00 per year. That's just great to know. That's 43.33 families that could of been taken off of the Medicaid & food stamps succubus. Just sayin'. With that being said, I am in no way saying that a family of four can actually live comfortably off of $30,000 a year. Me no stupidey.
• Oh! Stamp out hunger, right? Dr. Phil is "feeding America" supporting the "feeding America" campaign. 1.3 mill probably could of bought about 2,000,000 cans of soup or vegetables for either domestic or third world hunger. Two million cans of food is nothing to snicker at.
• There are uninsured kids all over America. $1.3 mill could of gone into advertising & marketing campaigns to help insure our youth.
• It's also no secret that the elderly living off of limited funds have problems with the Medicare gaps & the costs associated with medication. There are elderly people who take their much needed doses & cut them in half because of cost. Don't you think that maybe they should be taking their meds the way their doctors intended?

Now, let's just say that it's a huge honor to meet a President, let alone be invited to the White House. If my phone ever rings to do so, you better believe I would go... for free, of course. Let's all pray right now that we didn't actually pay the performers for their appearance. You don't have to pay me a dime to schmooze at the White House. No research has been done to solidify this claim, but if I'm right about this unsubstantiated claim of payment to celebrities who are already rich as balls, I will then proceed to barf in your general direction.

Enjoy your day, friends. Thinking about what you'd do with $1,300,000.00, that is. This wonderful concert will be aired on PBS stations nationwide this upcoming Tuesday, April 16th.
