What coverage is this campaign getting around the world? And what "advertising benefit" are we getting and even if there is one could we not have gotten it in a much cheaper way? "Right now, we're getting great intangible mileage out of a $40m taxpayer investment". For $40m I think we need more than just some supposed "intangibles". This should be buying something very tangible. After all you could justify any amount of spending on anything if you allow the benefits to be some "intangibles" .You can always come up with a huge amount of "intangible". Policy based on "intangibles" is policy based on nothing. Paul Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13731003529546075700noreply@blogger.com
