Published reports say the Trumps’ Thanksgiving trip to Florida wound up costing $7 million. Congress recently appropriated $7 million to reimburse state and local law enforcement agencies for overtime costs associated with protecting Trump before his inauguration. Palm Beach County says the county spent $250,000 for security support for Trump during his four-day visit over Thanksgiving.

That is one 4-day holiday weekend before he was even President. At that rate what do you think his vacations will cost taxpayers at the end of just one year?

LOL - Nice try - NOT!!!

IRS Doesn't Tell 1 Million Taxpayers That Illegals Stole TheirAug 31, 2016
The IRS has discovered more than 1 million Americans whose Social Security numbers were stolen by illegal immigrants, but officials never bothered to tell the taxpayers themselves, the agency’s inspector general said in a withering new report released Tuesday. Investigators first alerted the IRS to the problem five years ago, but it’s still not fixed, the inspector general said, and a pilot program meant to test a solution was canceled, and fell woefully short anyway. As a result mos ...

6.5 Million Taxpayers Paid $3 Billion In Obamacare PenaltiesMar 29, 2017
Approximately 6.5 million taxpayers paid $3 billion in Obamacare penalties for not having health insurance in 2016, according to preliminary data from the Internal Revenue Service Commissioner John Koskinen.

CBO Says Obamacare Will Cost 2 Million Jobs' Worth Of Dec 10, 2015
Yes, that's right.  Enough hours will be lost to equal 2 million jobs. The further we get with implementing Obamacare, the clearer it becomes that it's a total bust, with exchanges failing, costs going through the roof -  and now this from the CBO, not some right-wing nutjob.  It's unlikely that there are many conservatives who are surprised.  In fact, it's all going down exactly as we predicted.   Even so, it never fails to stun liberals when ...

The Cost Of Obama's Regulatory ExplosionJan 30, 2013
Double the cost of 16 years under Bush and Clinton. By JEFFREY H.

To the contrary (as White notes), according to figures published by the Obama White House (see table 2-1), the costs of regulations issued by this administration have dwarfed the costs of regulations issued by prior admini ...

Obama Sends Mexico $75 Million To Build WallSep 17, 2016
Turns out Barack Obama isn’t all that against building a border wall to keep out illegals after all. Thing is, he wants illegals to enter America, he’s just not okay with them entering Mexico. Looks like the U.S. is giving our neighbors to the south $75 million so they can build their own wall to protect themselves from Central American invaders. One of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s talking points in his campaign has that he wants to protect our borders. He wan ...

Taxpayer Bill For Obama’s Hawaii Vacations:Jan 04, 2013
Michelle Obama recently revealed that she and President Obama don’t give Christmas gifts to each other. They merely say, “We’re in Hawaii,” and that’s Christmas gift enough. BUT ACTUALLY THE PRESENT IS FROM TAXPAYERS, AND IT'S AN EXPENSIVE ONE. The total cost to taxpayers of Obama’s vacations to Hawaii since becoming president is likely in excess of $20 million, and possibly much, much more. During a time of budget deficits that threaten the nation’s security and its f ...
