Vice President Joe Biden's trip to Europe last month led to a hefty tab with over $1 million for hotels for himself, staff and security for two nights in London and Paris, government documents show.

As first reported by The Weekly Standard, documents show that the U.S. State Department obtained contracts with two five-star hotels in London and Paris where the vice president stayed for two nights during a five-day tour of Europe last month.

"These costs are nothing out of the ordinary. They are in line with high-level travel across multiple administrations," the State Department official said.

Wow! Over $1 million!!

That must have been one important and necessary trip to spend that kind of taxpayer moola in this bitch of an economy!!!

I won't spend 1/10 of that amount of money for all the trips I take in my lifetime, including vacations!
