	In a November 3, 2010, interview with [[Anderson Cooper]], while discussing spending cuts for Medicare and Social Security suggested by Representative [[Paul Ryan (politician)\|Paul Ryan]], Bachmann was asked what spending cuts she would make to reduce the deficit. She cited President Obama's then-upcoming visit to Asia as an example, saying it "is expected to cost the taxpayers $200 million a day. He's taking two thousand people with him. He'll be renting out over 870 rooms in India. And these are 5-star hotel rooms at the Taj Mahal Palace hotel. This is the kind of over-the-top spending—it's a very small example, Anderson."
