ROYAL SOUVENIRS.

[Steamburg]

A spit in the ocean compared to what is being spent on maintaining the life style of the Pretender and his family in the White House.
Think how much worse the cost would be to their economy if they invited the White House Trash rather than the Euro Trash.

What has Obama-loving, CBS’s Leftist bias, eporting cost America?

Re the China cups

Language really does make people think differently.

[Jeff Chandler]

They could copyright the video and collect . . . royalties.

Royal wedding, bailout.

Potato, potato.

For those of you who are sick of this news, something for you...

$50 Billion spent on this wedding is MORE than the so called $38 Billion (actually $352 M) our Congress decided to cut from our spending.

[Cicero]

Sure, it will cost billions. Add on $20 million for this idiot economic “analysis” and all the time people waste on reading it.

Maybe it will be the final straw that will bankrupt CBS News.

Hey . . . . Not a bad idea!

[gr8eman]

Looks like the nancy boys at SeeBS have their panties in a twist because their messiah wasn’t invited. One can only imagine what Sasquatch would have worn! NO ONE wants that at their wedding!

[Flavius]

Hey nothing better then showing unemployed peasants what they are missing

My buddies wedding is 6 grand and it has all you can drink bar.

I know a guy in Vegas that'll do it for 50 bucks, tux included!

[pnh102]

At least the UK is getting something for its money.

[NWFLConservative]

Hotels, food, etc.............................................. £90 million
Having fun in London...................................... $1000 a day
Obama and the First Moose not invited........... PRICELESS

Prince Phillip. Prince Charles. Princeling William.
When Bill’s wife produces a son England is going to be knee-deep in princes.

[DUMBGRUNT]

BS
Everyone knows that government spending stimulates the economy!
Just think of all the jobs created or saved!

[gusopol3]

it could knock something like a quarter percent off growth."

Even if the statement weren't hyperbole, which it is, it's .25 % off growth, which if generously estimated, would max 4% of GDP; so it would need an economy of 20 trillion to have a diiference of growth of 3.75 % rather than 4% = $50 billion. The guy that wrote the article is stupid. The 9/11 attacks were estimated to cost $100 b off U.S. economy, last time I saw it estimated.
