Pence's Quarter Million Dollar Political Stunt

Pence's political stunt, from figures I have seen bandied about, cost US taxpayers about a quarter million dollars. A quarter million dollars for a ridiculous, cynical political stunt, a quarter million dollars worth of political red meat thrown to Trump's deplorable base. I put this in perspective for myself: it would take my whole salary for the next DECADE to pay for this debacle. And this from the supposed party of "fiscal responsibility." Surely this will make at least a few people finally stand up and question Republican notions of "fiscal responsibility."

Sickening to me as well is that millions of the same people who are perfectly pleased with this overpriced act of sham patriotism are fine taking food and healthcare from sick and starving Americans. I saw a wingnutter today actually call the concerns and needs of poor and homeless people "Big Poverty" as if it were an industry. Yet not a peep about the quarter million WASTED on a political sham. I wonder how many starving children could have been fed on that quarter million. Sickening.
