I guess I actually have a clear reason to be angry at Obama now, for passing a dumb as hell law. This law is:
"As a measure to raise money, President Obama passed a new law designed to boost the dwindling numbers of foreign tourists. He believes that by charging a $10 fee on top of the ESTA (Electronic Scheme for Travel Authorization) application will somehow raise our declining tourism numbers."
- mediasteed
God lord.
"The remaining $10 of the fee will go towards a semi-public promotion fund that was created under the Travel Promotion Act signed into law in March this year. The act aims to boost the US tourist industry, which has been in decline since 2000. The fund will be used to help the industry recover.
"
Hope it went towards those cancer machines and child molesters.
Apparently Europe complained about this law, but clearly they didn't complain enough that Americans heard it. Or if they did, they didn't throw enough of a fit about it. I wonder if Fox News put a positive spin on it.
