Too much was spent on inauguration

How much did this lavish presidential inauguration cost us taxpayers? Did any one of us have a say how are funds were spent? After watching the highlights on Tuesday I was so upset over how many big-name entertainers were present during the celebration and parties, all I could see were dollar signs. Is it just me? Talk about a fiscal cliff, I think we just fell off it. My paycheck just got smaller in January because of more taxes. What is next?
