The money CNN spent on this set could have fed and clothed every homeless person in NH

Why can't they just stand on the stage a the local Grange Hall? Okay, so maybe the Civic Center. But really, the money spent on that set for a 90 minute stage show is absolutely shameful.

3. Do you understand economics......
CNN paid people to build it, buy it and companies made it. People took home paychecks because of it. You act like they burned the money.

4. They burned the money.
I understand economics. Don't be ridiculous. This was a 90 minute show with the set of American Idol. Perfectly fitting for the party of fiscal responsibility and austerity.

6. That's crap, the money was thrown down the garbage! I posted to the OP about their
holier than thou statement about what the money could do, but it is wasteful. Being for responsible spending by anyone or any entity does not give anyone a bad image.

7. You're right, I should have said nothing except "the money was wasted."

Thanks! :hi:

could all go to something better. :sarcasm:
