Just saw an interesting stat. Since Trump took office we have spent $550,000 of taxpayers money just for golf carts for the secret service. Unreal. Not about whether Trump is good or bad, it’s about how the country spends money like it grows on trees. I believe Bill Clinton was the last US president that actually paid a substantial amount toward our debt service. I’m a conservative republican and part of that mindset is being financially responsible. Where will this all end?
Also as a side note I’m part of an organization that receives inventory from the military that was purchased but never used. Brand new stihl chain saws, generators, etc etc. Even a humvee. The wastefulness is mind boggling

Remember the "Golden Fleece Award" given out each year from 1975 to 1988? Wasteful government spending has not stopped but for some reason the award was/is no longer given out!

Do the math over three years. I think that figure is nearly impossible.

But the good thing about golf courses is you can always make then into something else later. Unlike malls, subdivisions , parking lots,
junk yards etc.

that is a lot of money, but think about it this way, the secret service has to be all over the golf courses both in FL and NJ. Since Trump frequents both it makes sense. I would think Bush spent a lot on atv's for the secret service at his Tx ranch.

I am glad Melania has a small staff compared to Michelle's and Hillary's staff of around 2 dz. The FLOTUS has the smallest staff since Eisenhower. Around 4-7

I don't see why the First Lady should have ANY taxpayer-funded staff.

Look it my first X2^^

As a side note there is usually really good bass fishing in their ponds...Golf courses and politicians...


Keep your boots dry and your powder too.

I remember when a fur check was reality.....now I'm just trapping for the love of it.

Best Regards,

JT

I love golf, I’ll usually pay no more than $45 to play a round, though I have paid as high as $125. My favorite part is the girl who rides around with refreshments.

I like to golf. Get together with a few friends that I rarely get to see and have a good day. Plus, I get to trap and squirrel hunt in the winter on just about all the courses around here. As far as the potus goes, I spose there are worse things they could do for hobbies.

I'd like to see proof. Also every president has wasted money, not just Trump....I like golf. I play a few times a year. Golf courses offer a lot. Can get used balls out of the water to sell. You can fish and even trap on golf courses. Here you have some fur bearers and also turtles to trap on the course.

Lowest unemployment in what, fifty years. All those extra people working , they're paying taxes we weren't getting before right?

Trump could dig up a big gold nugget in the backyard at the White House, and people would beech about the hole.
