| That Guy said: 42 million is in GBP; so its probably more like 100 million USD. Anyways, the president actually does stuff, like sign bills and make decisions and stuff, so i can see where the cost is justified. We sort of have a monarchy here; i.e. the Kennedys and all the rich WASPs in the north east. But they are independantly wealthy and we don't really care about what they do. I think the UK Royal Family should do the same; just live off their own wealth without sucking up public money. |
You are very out of touch with currencies ^^ It would probably be around 70m US$. The Monarchs simply just 'being' brings the country money from tourism.

o_o I hope he gets frequent flyer miles.
