the image explains why the earlier estimates of chartering a helicopter ballooned from $139 to $2,500.

ALL politicians under ANY circumstances are a dime a dozen. And the "at any cost" mentality is in part why the US is broke right now.Quote from AK Forty Seven:
In such a situation a politician is not a dime a dozen.The President ,The VP and the 3rd in line need to be protected at any cost

Quote from AK Forty Seven:
During the cold war the government thought that an attack would start with the President and VP being killed,when JFK was shot for the first few hours they thought thats what was happening
When Abe was killed the plot was to kill him,the VP and members of his cabinet
Quote from Max E. Pad:
Regan ran up 2 trillion over 8 years Obama ran up 4 trillion so far over 2 years..... are you serious?
Quote from Max E. Pad:
Did the VP and all his cabinet members get killed?
NO!!!!
Last i checked (though my history is not perfect) Abe's VP, and members of his cabinet survved, and they sure as hell were not travelling the world on a 747.
What? Are you fucking kidding? Bozo the clown could move into the White House tomorrow and our situation would probably improve. You could have half of congress sucked up and whisked away in a UFO and I guarantee our situation would improve, dramatically, and almost over night.Quote from AK Forty Seven:
If the Prez or VP were out of action the the speaker has to be prepared to take the role of president,not every politician is able to do that...
If that's true sounds like we're wasting money protecting these clowns "at all cost" if they are in fact to blame.Most of the national debt and the trillion dollar deficits are from 2 presidents,Bush and Reagan.They are the biggest reasons we are broke right now.
Quote from AK Forty Seven:
The debt was less then a Trillion when Reagan took office and 4.2 trillion when Bush 1 left office
The debt was 5.7 trillion when Bush 2 took office and 10.6 the day he left office
Clinton left Bush with a balanced budget and a great economy,Bush left Obama with a trillion dollar deficit,2 wars and the worse economy since the great depression
While Obama gets some blame for the debt he has added he does not get it all because unlike Bush Obama didn't come into office with a balanced budget and turn it into a trillion dollar deficit like Bush did.If Obama had come into office with a balanced budget and then added 3.7 trillion then he should be blamed for it all but that is not the case
3.2 trillion under Reagan and Bush 1(tripling the national debt)
4.9 trillion under Bush 2 and he left office with 2 wars and a trillion dollar deficit and the shitty econmy
Even if you put all of Bush's trillion dollar deficit and war cost on Obama 8 of the 14 trillion still belong to Reagan and The Bush duo.Its debatable how much of Obama's 3.7 belongs to him but certainly not all of it
