Taxpayers and USAF get the purple shaft one more time!
The President's just completed trip to Vietnam required the following USAF aircraft and crew:
The one-week trip cost: $63,442,954 (JUST for the airlift) In comparison, The Marine Expeditionary Force's TOTAL airlift budget for FY2001, is $6.9 Million (to move 27,000 Marines and 3,000 short tons of equipment for those Marines).
Cheers to the following for the research and reporting: Wray R. Johnson, Ph.D., Lt. Col., USAF Professor of Military History, School of Advanced Airpower Studies Michael S. Lancaster , Assistant Director, Strategic Assessment Center McLean, VA
Just in case your blood pressure wasn't up enough . .
As you know, the Clintons had to establish residence in New York for Hillary to run for the Senate. So they bought that big house -- BUT there was no place for Secret Service which has statutory responsibility to protect the First Family. So, a special "safe area" was built. NOW, the Clintons are charging them rent! Perfectly legal.
BUT . . . It just happens that their rent is about the same amount as the Clintons mortgage payment! In short, we taxpayers pay for the Secret Service addition, AND the Clinton's mortgage!
Suckered again!
