Vice President Joe Biden’s hotel tab for his recent one-night stay in Mexico City cost taxpayers more than $500,000.
Biden, who attended an annual economic summit with Mexican leaders,
stayed at the luxury Intercontinental Presidente Hotel. Biden led a
delegation attending the summit that included Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker, Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz, and Interior Secretary Sally Jewell.
The trip called for 260 hotel rooms and meeting spaces, according to a State Department contract. The total hotel tab was $538,528.65.
The government said the trip costs were justified due to security concerns and last-minute planning.
“In addition to supporting a large delegation within a short time
frame, last minute and frequent changes of itineraries for supporting
personnel often result in significant changes in how Posts work with the
vendors,” the State Department said. “With the exception of a few
trips, contracts are not permitted to be signed until the Department of
State (Post) has written confirmation from all supporting agencies,
which enables collection of funds from said agencies in the event of
cancellation.”

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
