How much does the inauguration cost?

Answer 1

A report from The New York Times states that the District of Columbia and the federal government spent a combined $115.5-million in 2005, "most of it for security, the swearing-in ceremony, clean-up and for a holiday for federal workers." (In addition to the $42.3-million Mr. Bush's inaugural committee spent)

Answer 2

Bush's Inauguration cost $42.3 Million in donations and $115 million spent by Federal government and the District of Columbia combined, most of it for security, the swearing-in ceremony, cleanup and for a holiday for federal workers. Total Bush 2005 Inauguration: $157.3 million. Barack Obama's will be about $150 million total (of that amount is $47 million in donations).

Answer 3

The Obama Inauguration Committee will have spent approximately $47 million, all of which was donated. Bush's Inauguration Committee 2005 spent $42.4 million, all of which was donated. City services, security, and extra pay to local and federal workers cost $115 million in 2005 for the Bush inauguration, and is expected to cost as much for the 2009 inauguration. The federal budget for the 2009 inauguration is $15 million, with a supplemental amount given to the District of Columbia to help offset their estimated cost of $75 million for services and security.
