$200 million A Day Trip To India

Sharing something I got in email yesterday.


Obama his wife, children and about 3,000 people are going to a trip to India that will cost about $200 million dollars a day. This will be the most expensive trip ever by a U.S. President with 40 airplanes involved.

Is India really that important to our economy? Why can't the leader of India just stop by the White House and then it would only cost a few thousand dollars. Why do we need to take 3,000 people to India for a chat?
