“we serve in historic times. This is the first administration in history to consume $50 million in what amounts to a 6-day expedition. The President has just returned from an official trip to India and Pakistan. On this trip, he took 77 Air Force planes and a huge entourage. He said he was going there to try to stop the arms race between India and Pakistan. It seems that the President and his aides spent more time sight-seeing at the Taj Mahal and looking for tigers than engaging in productive diplomacy, and all of this cost the taxpayers $50 million. How interesting that it took Ken Starr 6 years to spend that much investigating indiscretions at the White House, and the White House called that investigation a waste of taxpayer money. Think of it, 6 days of sight-seeing versus 6 years of investigations. It turns out that Starr may have been the most frugal executive branch employee of them all.”
