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.

I thought these were to be used by the SS when protecting anyone, the assumption is that Republican officials and candidates will be included as well.
It seems like the SS has made a long-term cost effective decision that's a better use of taxpayer money.

If that's the case, we need to have the SS make the decisions for our budget and spending.
Oh thats right, we don't have a budget.

spence, I mentioned this like 4 posts up. However, instead of taking an objective position, people just want to bitch for the sake of bitching without actually looking at the facts.

Same. It's pretty much been the exact same conversation over and over for the last 3 years. Thus why I've just started posting ridiculous pictures in most threads.
