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.

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!

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!

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

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.

Extra policing and overtime alone is estimated at more than $35 million. Here's a further cost - when all the people are celebrating, they're not working. And because the wedding holiday falls between two long holiday weekends in England, you can take 11 days off by burning only three days of vacation time.

What bogus arguements! The $35 million going to the police is in extra salary. This salary will be taxed by the government, and spent by the cops.

The people who are "burning off" three vacation days would be burning them off some other time of year. This is vacation time they earned! There is no "loss" to the economy. These people who are off for 11 days will be spending money they might not otherwise be spending if they were sitting behind their desks.

The smartest thing the Brits can do is ditch the royals and use Miss England and the Page 3 girls who usually pose topless for things like opening Parliament, officiating at Burger King openings, etc.

It would save a lot of money and they’d look better doing it.

$50 Billion? That’s chump change! We have a community agitator residing in D.C. whose four-year paid vacation for he and his kinfolks will total approximately 5 TRILLION!

In other words, the communist media is upset because Obama wasn’t invited.

I don’t see the communist media complaining when Obama and the First Wookie spend our money lavishly on their vacations.

So he passes along a thumbnail estimate of the "cost" of a vacation day? What's next - calculating the cost of taking off Christmas?

Wotta Puritan.
