Is there a spending budget for Trump in the WH?

[Equinox Moon]

I read about the excessive costs for all the Trump & family travel. They keep living their opulent lives at the expense of America.

Is there any budget?

1. We were just talking about the same thing! Let HIM pay to keep his wife & son in New York!!!!

He claims to be a bizillionaire, so if his spouse and sprout don't want to leave NYC, he should have to pay for the Secret Service protection - salary, housing AND benefits. I mean, DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

5. Really? You were just talking about this too?

What's the saying, "Great minds think alike" ?

Not just wife and child in NY, but travel to Florida every weekend. His sons traveling all over the world for "business".

Too much!

6. I've been on a real tear, tonight.

I STILL can't wrap my mind around what's happened, and is STILL HAPPENING!! And the more I think about it, the more I want to hit someone. Hard. Right now I feel like a shaken bottle of soda, about to explode.

How the HELL can they start all of these cuts to departments and services, and yet spend MILLIONS and MILLIONS on the trump* family and their personal indulgences.

I have nothing but contempt for that clan of money grubbing, gold plated troglodytes, and ALL of their enablers. I no longer care if I jinx myself by hoping we will all see their Karma come to fruition, and soon.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8. Sorry you are exploding.

I understand!

So far, no one has responded that there is a budget limit for executive branch spending. I am calling my senators and congress person tomorrow about it.

The MILLIONS being spent on them could pay for some of the health care they want to cut.

9. I just really need to turn my mind off, for a while

What a freaking nightmare we live in. This is one of those days when I think I should sell up, cash out investments and move to somewhere like Pago Pago.

10. You are not alone on that.

I have heard of some life-long activists throwing in the towel and actually leaving the country.

I am here to stay and watch it play out.

Booze helps.

12. Money grubbing' gold-plated...

...troglodytes.

Excellent turn of phrase. I shall be using it.

2. I believe he has to get that money from Congress...nt

[Equinox Moon]

3. Right. Could congress put a budget on him and his family?

Seems we have a situation that it is necessary.

4. I vote

we let the McConnells pay.

7. With all the millionaires & billionaires he installed

in his cabinet perhaps they should just pass the hat whenever they meet. But I'm certain they'd all prefer that the "little people" taxpayers foot the bills.

11. Ironic isn't it.

They make so much money they don't pay taxes. The taxes that pay for their security, housing, food, health care, etc.
