WASHINGTON – "President Barack Obama has signed a bill creating a program to promote the U.S. as a premier tourism destination for international travelers.
The U.S. Travel Association calls it a major step in addressing the drop-off in such visits to the U.S. during the past decade. The association says the U.S. welcomed 2.4 million fewer overseas visitors last year than in 2000. And that, the group says, has cost it an estimated $509 billion in total spending and $32 billion in direct tax receipts.
Government and private industry would evenly split the program's costs, with Washington contributing up to $100 million a year. That money will come from a $10 fee paid by foreigners who do not pay for visas to enter the U.S."
Yes, Barry signed yet another closed-door tax bill, one that will certainly assure a dropoff in tourism.
How does one know this?
Simple.
Everything he touches turns to shit.
Probably why ACORN fired his incompetent ass, in order to shuffle him off to a different no-show job. Just like his wife. Whose position...the oh-so-IMPORTANT one with that politically correct hospital...has YET to be filled since her moving into public housing.
Charlatans all.
