Our Ruler Spends Our Money With Far More Elan Than We Ever Could
April 4, 2016
Those of you working three jobs to meet the mortgage; those of you who no longer have a mortgage to meet nor a job either, for that matter; those of you deciding whether you’ll eat or heat the house; those of you clipping coupons and agonizing over the few more cents Item A costs this week over last; those of you “contributing” your “fair share” to the US Treasury—cheer up! The Feds make wise use of your money, far better than you ever could. For example, “the Obama family 2015 Christmas vacation to Honolulu, Hawaii, cost the taxpayers $3,590,313.60 in flight expenses alone.”*
Yep, that’s almost four million big ones. In “flight expenses alone.” Which doesn’t include the “private home in an upscale neighborhood” Obummer “rented” for this idyll, bringing the outlay per diem to a hefty $500,000.
Keep that in mind next week as you file your taxes.
