But reading what you just quoted him saying made me laugh about the use of the words "us" and "we" in that last sentence.

As if ANY of us ever had a say in how that money was spent. I guarantee you that if you asked people if they think that their tax money should be spent on super-duper helicopters for the Pres. to ride in to the airport to board his super-duper jet...most people would be like me and say "Hell NO!"

First off...the hypocrisy of a person who claims to be a proponent of "green energy" and stopping "global warming" to have such a HUGE carbon footprint is crazy isn't it?

But that's the way the RULING class in America rolls. They tell US what to do, and exempt themselves from all of it.

We want YOU to drive a prius...WE will ride in limousines.
We want YOU to save energy...WE will live in these mansions using more energy than your entire city block.
We don't want YOU to have a gun to protect yourself....but WE will be surrounded by armed guards all the time.

It's just crazy that the American people are letting this kind of thing stand for the last few decades as the ruling class in Washington D.C. has gotten more and more brazen.

it's going to have to reach a tipping point at some point. while shit is never totally in balance, when shit gets so far skewed in a direction, it will snap back. Not sure what it's going to take though.

that's reading between the lines, but that's also understanding how RFPs and contracts work.

Great, at the end of the day we signed a contract for for one billion plus. Far cry from seventeen billion.

But if you ask the general public if we should spend $200 million a year on staff for the White House, the answer would also be no. This doesn't take into account how much it costs when the President travels; Fleets of cars and helicopters and planes all go with him. This is the standard no matter if the President is a Democrat or a Republican.

No one tells you to drive a Prius; I drive a eight cylinder truck with horrible gas mileage. If you want a mansion buy a mansion. And no one is telling you can't have firearms in your house - I have three assault rifles!

The amount of money our government spends on the President and the White House and Congress.... It's insane. But it's nothing new.
