* on vacation: what's the cost?

[shockingelk]

Myself, I don't get too riled up about Bush being on "vacation" in TX. He's as bad in TX as he is in DC, so in that sense, it doesn't bother me.

I'm wondering how much his frequent getaways cost the tax payer though.

How many times has he gone back and forth?

How much does it cost to move his whole court and guard to the ranch each time?

How much extra does it cost to maintain security in both locations?

How much to install and operate whatever telecommunication facilities they have in Crawford?

How many frequent flyer miles would someone taking that much vacation accumulate?
