Queen’s Diamond Jubilee

| UK's youth homeless |
In the United Kingdom, monarchical celebrations of the Queen’s
60th year as Monarch carry extremely high costs as her subjects ( U.S.
presidential candidates throw millions at election 2012) suffer austerity,
poverty, unemployment, war making and discontent.
Some say the UK Queen’s bash may cost as much as 3 billion
pounds (3,000,000,000 GBP = roughly 4,637,700,000 USD).
