After you posted this typical democrat parrot response: With respect to spending, lets just cut Medicare, SS, and all the other entitlement programs. However, lets take them to zero over the next two to four years. Give business and Wall Street all that they want, for example, eliminating all regulations. Then we can balance the budget and eliminate our National debt, both domestic and foreign. (We can use Ryan's model as a starting point, and go from there.) I decided I was wasting my time. Cheers Btw, you're the one pushing free Chinese software programs on SI. I don't think you're worried about China.

Michelle Obama’s $800,000 African Vacation — On A Private Jet! By Prof Steinberg ~ July 7th, 2011 @ 9:07 pm Image by Getty Images via @daylife President Obama has been on a tirade lately about private jets. At the same time that Obama is denouncing private jets, his wife Michelle is hosting a family vacation in Africa on a private jet – paid for by taxpayers! From the United Kingdom, the Daily Mail reports: “While her husband continues to battle a flagging economy at home, Michelle Obama’s ‘goodwill tour’ of Africa cost taxpayers an estimated $800,000, it has emerged. According to Whitehousedossier.com the First Lady’s trip to South Africa and Botswana last week will certainly cost well over half a million dollars and could be as much as $800,000.” The Daily Mail continues: “According to Defence Department figures the DOD charges other federal agencies $12,723 per hour for the use of a C-32 plane, the same model as the one Mrs Obama was ferried about on during her trip. When the distance travelled and flight speed of the plane are put together the cost of the plane could be as much as $430,000, according to the White House Dossier blog.” * * * Don’t you wish a “mainstream media” reporter would ask Mr. Obama the following question. “So, Mr. President, you’re saying it’s wrong when business executives use corporate jets. But it’s ok when your wife uses a private jet for a family vacation?” And a follow-up point. Why should I care how someone else spends their money? If they have the money, and they want to buy a private jet, why is it any of my business? In fact, when someone buys a private jet, they are creating jobs for people who build and fly the planes. But Michelle isn’t spending her own money to fly the private jet. Empress Michelle is spending taxpayer money to take her kids and mom and relatives on a family safari to Africa! Mr. President — When your wife wastes $800,000 of MY MONEY on a family trip to Africa, I get a little annoyed!! steinbergfiles.com
