Air Force One’s cost at roughly $206,000 per hour. All the traveling by any and all Presidents is costly.
“former president Barack Obama’s travel over his two terms in office, finding Trump’s predecessor racked up a whopping $97 million in travel costs.”
The Houston to DC flight time of a 747 is 2 hr 46 min, so total ~5.5 hrs x 260k = $1.43 million to fly a dead body back and forth for this entire days event. Your tax dollars at work. With all the various Washington DC special rentals, salaries, increased security, pomp and parade, police overtime, etc. Not including all the DC and US Gov swamp creatures free vacation day and the postal service. Millions in tax dollars.
With all that money the Bushes have accumulated they should have been thoughtful tax saving citizens and instead stayed in Houston and waived this DC ceremony since King George the 1st isnt buried in Arlington National. Instead of the
egocentric DC funeral production they could have donated direct to those Honduras “refugees” bus rides back and a $1000. each person to start their own micro empresa back in Honduras. That would have done the world much benefit and cost less than this entire day.
