some things I didn't see on here today

Bill Clinton, no stranger to controversy, raised eyebrows again with a Clinton Global Initiative gathering last month, as ABC News put it, "at a five-star luxury hotel in Morocco [hosted] by one of the world's most controversial mining companies, criticized for 'serious human rights violations' by the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice." And as is the case with every trip a former president takes (and President Clinton takes a lot of trips), the U.S. taxpayer is on the hook for security expenses.

For the Morocco trip, the hotel costs alone for the Secret Service came to $21,165.
- Taxpayers paying for them to go raise money for private ventures. Nice.

Air Force for one: Massive military transport plane that usually carries 100 troops picks up US Secretary of State John Kerry to bring him home after he breaks his leg cycling. A US military C-17 transport aircraft that usually carries at least 100 troops flew to Geneva Airport to pick up Secretary of State John Kerry and fly him to Boston where he'll be treated for a broken leg.The C-17 was carrying 'additional military medical personnel in keeping with standard practice', according to Kerry spokesman John Kirby, the Washington Post reported.
- I'm wondering why Kerry didn't get his leg fixed there with social medicine being so great and all.

You left out a part of this. They first flew his doctor to Geneva from Boston to fly back with him. Like his life was hanging in the balance for a broken leg? More out of control reckless spending by the Hussein Obumblebrains administration.

Yes, but others must pay their fair share.
