FYI
Ya wouldn't believe it SLB if I showed ya reciepts.......:o)
USSS methods are indeed expensive, yet the alternative is something I don't wish on the worse of our Presidents...........I don't see a solution as long as executives , goobermint or private sector, don't live by the rules us pogues live by. The desire to shake every citizens hand is admirable but the cost is staggering for just travel. The cheapest cost to the taxpayer is static security measures even if it has to be at two or three of the Presidents properties.
I'd like to see Camp David as the offical weekend / vacation retreat, the Presidents actual home and the white house being the only ones "hard wired" for USSS coverage full time.
But then I ain't running this op .........Stay safe !
