The Obama's have taken almost 20 vacations in the last four years and they are planning a 17 day vacation in December.
The problems with that;
The Senate hasn't passed a budget in over 1000 days.
Unemployment is still in the 8% ballpark.
Gas prices and food prices are soaring due to inflation.
A fiscal cliff is on the horizon unless a deal is brokered.
So long as these problems remain, the Obama's, and any other member of the Administration or Congress, should NOT be taking vacations on the taxpayers dime.
Business and pleasure should not be mixed as well. All pleasure trips should be paid by the individual, not from general tax funds.
