The Secret Service issued a statement about these wild stories - they say they have funding until the end of the Fiscal Year .... which is the end of September.

The same can be said of every other Agency and Department - they will run out of money at the end of the Fiscal Year - the end of September.

That's why we do a Budget folks, it's why there is the constant Continuing Resolutions to keep these outfits open and funded. They ALL run out of money at the end of the Fiscal Year.

How can people be so dumb as to not understand this? It's pretty much Government Funding 101.

Correct. The self described workaholic president is spending so much money on vacation the country can't afford it anymore. And we still have 3 1/2 years of the Coppertoned slacker to go.

What are you talking about... the Director didn't say they were running out of money at the end of the year. He said 1,000 agents have already hit their limits. That is why he's asking lawmakers to raise the cap (even though 13 agents still won't be able to get paid) and a $60 million budget increase for the next year. What is normal about a 8 figure unexpected budget increase??

And.. what "wild stories"? The Director of the Secret Service said this!! WTF else can you trust?

These are not "wild stories", $85M for Obama's two terms. $120 M in one year under Trump. The secret service will receive funding one way or the other, the point is the in unprecedented amount. Yes congress can increase spending I am sure they will, so what do you think about this amount of spending.

The jackass that said " he'd be at work full time in the whitehouse" will outspend the last 10 presidents combined in one term.

Typical politician, nothing but a liar.

Suspend everyone's protection detail except for Trump himself and his wife. The rest of that slimy family has enough money to hire security if they think they need it. If kidnspped, don't return.

Our government has budgets for every expenditure. Trump has exceeded the limits for his travel. He goes to Mar a Largo every weekend in the winter and his golf course in New Jersey every weekend in the summer. Now it's up to congress to increase the budget for the secret service in order for them to get paid....and guess who pays for this....WE DO. But does Trump, the billionaire, even care....of course not.
