Inflation?
A recent article from the Metro puts a price tag on the PM's 2 day visit to Washington last year.
I know that security and accomodations for a head of state aren't cheap, but COME ON! $417,979 for a 2 day excursion?? Is this the price us lowly middle class schmucks are expected to pay, in order to be represented by elitist dictators?
A few highlights from the article:
*$120,000 on vehicle rentals
*$ 382 on local transportation......(wtf?)
*$6,428 in cell phone charges
*$2,860 for printing services
*$6,700 for translation services
*$6,150 to rent office equipment
*$6,491 for "other" rentals
After reading this, is it any wonder the governer general, Adrienne Clarkson spent so laviciously? I think not....
