The Hill: Mulvaney says Trump's military parade could cost as much as $30 million
President Trump’s proposed military parade could cost as much as $30 million, budget director Mick Mulvaney said Wednesday.
Mulvaney told the House Budget Committee that the parade's cost would vary depending on length, but could be anywhere from $10 million to $30 million.
Pentagon officials reportedly said in an early meeting about the parade that they did not know how they would pay for it. The administration is reportedly targeting Veterans Day for the parade.
Mulvaney told the committee after questioning from Democratic Rep. Barbara Lee (Calif.) that the cost would depend on the length of the parade and the cost of the equipment.

WNU Editor: The military personnel are already being paid. DC law enforcement is already being paid. Equipment is already there. Some fuel will need to be used .... but I doubt that we are going to see a hundred planes and hundred tanks down Pennsylvania Blvd (which actually will be cool if you ignore that cost). So .... closing down some of Washington DC .... and maybe some overtime for law-enforcement .... and some fuel .... will cost up to $30 million?!?!?!
