The tea party rallies, anti-gun control rallies, etc. that the left liked to use to cast the right in dubious light caused how many millions of dollars in destruction? Resulted in how many towns where the protestors were told to burn the ****er down? How many cops, other governmental authorities...or anybody else were killed?
Given the clean state of the National Mall following the typical TEA party rally (i.e. cleaner than it was *before* the rally), they may have actually *saved* taxpayer money.
