I’m going on what has been REPORTED. Has the WH released a figure?
(Didn’t think so.)
Why is he going? For a festival of lights? OK so let’s say it cost 1 million a day, for what really? Is this a major summit? He is taking at least 2 AF1, food lodging , security, cars, Marine Ones What is a acceptable cost for him going to visit school children? WHY IS HE GOING?
The reported figure came from an Indian news organization. From what I’ve read, apparently outrageous exageration is the norm in their press.
Can I prove it’s not $200 mil / day? No, I can’t. Nor can I prove it’s not $1, or $1 trillion.
I will point out the war in Afghanistan reportedly costs us $192 mil per day. So you can draw your own conclusions.
That is, if you care at all about some sembalance of sanity or truth. If not, then enjoy!
