"So tell me Joe where are you staying while you are in town?"
"Motel 8"
"That is not a good idea, Joe. I heard the communist extremist group bugged the place last week."
I am a little tired of the the silliness surrounding the expenditures of the Executive Office of the USA. Just a little. Do the bozos that put together these hideous articles and news reel clips together ever stop to think about what they are telling the public?
Ya, know. Like taking things out of complete context to make the point, the cheap shot, "Well, I couldn't do that." No clue.
If the Secret Service were to find a Motel 8 for the Vice President to stay in for two days, they would have to spend more money securing the place every time the Vice President made a trip for the purpose of the Executive Branch of the USA. It wasn't as though he went hiking on the Appalachian Trail and it cost $500,000 a night.
It is my best guess, this is the cost of national security for our Vice President. You know the guy next in line for leading the nation. The cost has to do with security of his one and only body. That means these locations are APPROVED by the USA Secret Service as the places they can trust to actually carry out their duties.
If journalists want to seek criticism of the spending of the USA Secret Service why not ask their director for an interview about how these decisions are made. Oh, wait. That might mean the journalists have to actually do some work to achieve their pay checks. I forgot, going for the cheap tabloid stuff is so much better than actually providing valuable information to the nation.

Paris may be known as the City of Light, (click here) but that title certainly doesn’t mean that visitors are light on spending as Vice President Joe Biden’s one day trip cost taxpayers more than half a million dollars.
When Mr Biden and his hefty entourage stayed in Paris for an evening in early February and it cost $585,000.50 for that single night.
The Vice President likely rented out more than 100 rooms in the Hotel Intercontinental Paris Le Grand, though they must not have gotten a group discount rate....
