Cost of increasing jobs

Recently the media has been filled with stories of president Obama’s trip over to Asia. The trips purpose is to bring back jobs from overseas. Some people in the media interpreted this as meaning that America wanted its telemarketing jobs from India back. That was not the point though. The point was to get other countries interested in American made products. For example, Obama and the leader of India made a pact that India would buy new plans from America. The figures the white house gave said that this alone should employ 20,000 American workers. This seems like a slightly inflated number, but the real inflated numbers have come from the cost of the trip. One media outlet is quoted as saying the trip would cost “$200 million a day, $2 billion total, 34 diverted Navy ships, a 2,000-person presidential entourage, and 870 hotel rooms in India.”
These numbers are so over inflated the white house has actually had to come out and tell the media what they really are spending. They have said that, no, they are not sending a 5th of the navy abroad with the president, no they did not hire 1000 security officials, and no they did not rent out the taj mahol, which, contrary to popular belief, is not a hotel. This just goes to show that all you need is one little off the wall news report to end a carrier. Something like this could ruin a person if they don’t use effective spin control
