From the same article...
The U.S. has not held a major military parade in Washington since 1991 to mark the end of Operation Desert Storm. The 1991 parade reportedly cost approximately $8 million and was paid for with about $3 million in government funds and the rest with private donations.
This unnamed "source" say's a similar parade will cost more than 10 times that? Sounds like a Trump hater who doesn't want Trump getting any kind of positive reaction from "middle" America. Trump could get this done for 12 - 15 million tops with the cost to taxpayers around 5 or 6 million and the rest from private sources
I'd much rather our gov't spend 6 million on a national military parade than 6 million on welfare for foreign nationals here illegally (most of which spit on our flag).
1991, meet 2018...
