US to spend $200 Million a Day on Obama's Mumbai Visit

From NDTV:

The US would be spending a whopping $200 million per day on President Barack Obama's visit to the city.

"The huge amount of around $200 million would be spent on security, stay and other aspects of the Presidential visit," a top official of the Maharashtra Government privy to the arrangements for the high-profile visit said.

About 3,000 people including Secret Service agents, US government officials and journalists would accompany the President.


Holy crap. Wait. Did they say 3,000 people would be going on the trip?

What the hell is this trip for, anyway? And how soon can we have another election?
