Your usual MO is to disagree with my posts. I am forced to conclude that is not the case this time after you have put up evidence that supports my claim. At a time when according to administration officials, the treasury is so depleted we can barely keep the lights on and the floors clean at the White House. We see that Joe Biden is out spending a million and a half dollars on hotels and revelries for who knows how many staffers and fellow bureaucrats to party hardy in Paris and London. Since we all know it takes 180 thousand dollars an hour to operate Air Force One, and since we know the advance teams likely flew over in style as well, to assume travel expenses and payroll topped 5 million for the whole shooting match is not at all out of line.

With that in mind, is anybody aware of any benefit this trip provided to the taxpayers who paid for it? I've yet to hear of a thing. I guess the folks in England and France were thankful for the opportunity to swoon at his appearance and with the threat of a 75% income tax rate looming over their heads in France, they obviously can use the money. What a boat load of hypocrites, everybody has to "do their fair share" but, they sure aren't about to back off any on their own regal self indulgences. And, the irony of all this? The very sheep getting laughed at and sheared by the likes of this grimacing goof, are the ones throwing themselves off the financial cliff to make it all happen.
