The White house spends $277,050 per year for a calligraphy staff to hand write calligraphy invitations which are indistinguishable from computer generated calligraphy fonts. When a computer generated invitation up and a hand written invitation are placed side by side, they look identical. White House calligraphers are an unnecessary expense of the White House. In this time of economic crisis and fiscal responsibility, calligraphy is an expense which the American people should not be paying for.
