Obama just spend TWO BILLION dollars on his trip to Mumbai. TWO billion.
Before you suggest that I'm an Obama apologist, understand that I'm a registered Republican, didn't vote for Obama, and think that most of his policies will do a lot more harm than good. But this $2 billion claim is just silly.

Wow, way to split hairs magician. I don't think he knew that income taxes were illegal.

The $2B is certainly overblown, and we definitely shouldn't cite such dubious numbers.

There's no question however that Obama is throwing our money away (ya, what's new right?).

Of course, Obama is all talk.

They're not.
That's a specious argument that's been tried and found wanting multiple times.
Sorry.

No he didn't. This is a number that Mike Huckabee was tossing about, but it's absurd. If you look into it you'll see that it is unsubstantiated (for example, he claimed that 34 US warships - 10% of the entire US fleet - were stationed off the Indian coast; that's ridiculous).

Magician, one more thing. Both printing money and income taxes are illegal. What makes them "legal" is that a man in power one day decided that it IS ok, and did it. 1913. Before that, there was no such thing. You worked hard, earned your money, and lived the American dream. Now, you work hard, make your money, and your government makes it worthless. Again, I lived through it. Most of you are getting a first taste of this.
