America’s 250th birthday is on sale. Where’s all that merch money going?

As the United States celebrates its 250th birthday, a wide range of commercial products, from decorative pillows to youth tees, is being sold to commemorate the occasion. Established by Congress, America250 aims to promote this milestone, but the focus is now on where all the revenue from these sales is going. While the commercial aspect highlights the nation's capitalist spirit, it raises questions about the allocation and use of funds intended to celebrate this significant anniversary. This commercialization underscores a broader trend of monetizing national events.
