To All The Liberals

So your not at work when you post here. LOL

Aren't most of us during the daytime posts. FRPLG's statement is exactly why most governmental responsibilities should be done at the local level. True the military can't be, but most medicare and soc.sec. could and should be. anyway, blah blah blah it ain't changin anytime soon.

now back to hatin ya'll!
Anyway, back to reality.

Recovery Crawls, Even as Economy Avoids Double Dip - Barrons.com (http://online.barrons.com/article/SB60001424053111903697804575574342524585842.html?m od=rss_barrons_follow_up)

Point being - Obama/Dem policies have prolonged the recession and slowed the recovery. Same as FDR's socialist policies did after the Great Depression.

Sure I am. The 10 minutes spent a day on here hardly costs us anything. I can assure you that if I wasn't on here I'd be doing something else to take a break. If the biggest issue any gov't has is making sure employees don't take breaks once in awhile then no one should be complaining about waste. Unfortunately employees needing breaks is a reality of any working environment.

New Dehli TV reports the same thing.

In light of the security situation in the region, might have been smarter to have a smaller contingent (leave Michelle at home) or have the folks from Mumbai come here where we've got far more control. India is a critical ally, but $200M a day ain't chump change.


Is this information substantiated? I don't see anyone of note reporting on it and all is see is Daily Mail and et al quoting the ndtv who quotes Maharashtra government official. Where's the fact checking of these claims?

How much per day do our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan cost? How much man power and resources do we have over there? Iraq war alone cost tax payers roughly 12 billion a month. Doing simple math one arrives at expenditure of ~400 million a day. The idea that the president and his crew is spending half what we spent to wage war in Iraq is absurd. Even worse is the fact that people believe it!


Please, let's show some sanity restraint and not believe wild stories because we want to believe them. Even if 35 war ships are dispatched you have to recognize they are there to wage our wars and one can not attribute their total cost to the president's visit.

p.s. Your economic prosperity depends on mine and vice versa.

What's funny is that the White House is denying the trip costs $200M/day, yet they won't give up the number for the actual daily price tag...

I know that all presidents travel, and it costs lots of cake to orchestrate these trips. It's just that this timing is so piss poor....

Claim that Barack Obama's India visit will cost $200m a day is 'wildly inflated' | World news | The Guardian (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/nov/04/barack-obama-india-visit-cost-claim)

You do know I was just joking as you kind of set yourself up for that. We can laugh every now and then.

Why should the White House announced how much it costs to protect the president? For what it's worth, a very similiar trip taken by Bill Clinton costs about $5.2 mil per day. This trip will probably cost the same seeing that Obama is travelling to less countries and this trip is a day shorter than Clinton's.

But what's so wrong about the timing?

Its also funny how the White House was so mad at how AIG employee's went on trips while excepting TARP money. They demanded account ability of tax payers money but here they sing a different tune. I don't have a problem with him going overseas I have a problem with the price tag and the amount of people he is taking.

Because we are paying for the trip. I'm sure your right an that estimate was 195,000,000 off per day.

Shoutout to Nikki Haley. Although I don't support her views politically it's showing times have changed. SS knows whats up.
