And people wonder WHY I get mad!!!!

President Obama and his family are planning to travel to Senegal, Tanzania, and South Africa this month and to spend up to $100 million!!!! of tax money on their trip. Essentially, a paid vacation and heritage tour, the trip will involve extensive federal expenditure at a time when federal employees are on furlough working four day weeks due to sequester.

According to the Washington Post:

"Hundreds of U.S. Secret Service agents will be dispatched to secure facilities in Senegal, South Africa and Tanzania. A Navy aircraft carrier or amphibious ship, with a fully staffed medical trauma center, will be stationed offshore in case of an emergency. Military cargo planes will airlift in 56 support vehicles, including 14 limousines and three trucks loaded with sheets of bullet¬proof glass to cover the windows of the hotels where the first family will stay. Fighter jets will fly in shifts, giving 24-hour coverage over the president's airspace, so they can intervene quickly if an errant plane gets too close."

This is such a HUGE waste of taxpayer money as to be out of the rhelm of wasteful! It's disgusting to think that the taxes of millions of good, hard working American's are going to pay for this lavish vacation for the last family.

And here's something else to think about... Since $.42cents of EVERY DOLLAR that we (the government) spends is borrowed from China and elsewhere that means that $42,000,000 million dollars of this fiasco will have to be repaid, along with the interest on $42,000,000.

Total Bullsh!t if you ask me!!!
