Ya mean like the example our President just set by using 41 vechicles including SUVs , big cars and a new million + dollar bus he used on his trip last week?
Wonder if he'll use the taxpayers 1 + million $$ bus for his 2012
campaign? Something like FDR's private train car as they drove across
the nation with him waving from the back of the train?. |

Ya JD, but who do think paid for his bus?
Him, or you and I ?
What's a million + $$$ right?
That thing has to be armored so take a
guess of mpg and carbon Boot print. |

You haven't read up about the bus at all, have you? The Secret Service has historically leased buses, installed reinforcement, installed security systems and communication systems and then, when the lease is up, they have to strip it all out.
These buses aren't a new concept within their protection system. The difference is now that they own the cow, instead of buying the milk. In the long term, I'd bet that it will provide a net-savings. |
