So far this year, It was reputed that President Obama has taken four trips, including 18 fundraisers outside the greater Washington, D.C. area. But during each trip he also conducted official business. That means that the White House -- in other words they say, taxpayers -- splits the cost with the Obama campaign.
But how do they split it? Take Obama's recent trip out west, when he traveled to three states over three days. He attended eight fundraisers, and held just two official events - a factory tour in Wisconsin and a Boeing plant visit in Seattle.
The cost of operating Air Force One is $179,750 per hour, according to the U.S. Air Force. White House Pool reports show that the plane flew for nearly 12 hours for that trip, which means the plane ride alone cost more than $2 million. That doesn't even include the cost of flying advance workers and specialty vehicles ahead of time to the president's destination, not to mention the cost of setting up security. The U.S.A democracy is setting a bad pace for world governments which took advantage of this soft spot to run public funds down the drain and on the long run ditching once vibrant economies into debt water holes while making the unsuspecting public the beneficiaries of those huge debts.
Taxpayers all over the world were nozzles up under the yoke of democracy as Fela the Afro beat King calls it Demonstration of crazy
I have watched campaigns worldwide and I discovered the campaigns does not reimburse the government for the cost of flying the incumbent President.
I think its time taxpayers all over the world who found themselves in the pool of demonstration of crazy to begin questioning the shameless authorities.
