Budgets are written by number cruncher's. They look at what has been spent in the past and determine what might be needed in the future. Trump's SS budget had already been increased but he has already blown through it. He can not control himself. He is so used to gold leaf and a 'no expense spared' lifestyle of luxury that the very concept of 'cutting back' is foreign to him. Now that he can do it at yours and my expense, all the better for him. While we try to figure out how to pay for the mortgage and groceries, he takes 25% of our money and blows it on ketchup covered steaks that cost more than we make in a week. He is living the high life at our expense and flaunting it in our face. He wants more and dares us to say anything about it because after all, he is King.
Agreed.
"It's good to be the king!"

Double-ironically, he is doing this mostly on properties he owns, and the Secret Service has to spend money at those resorts. So while he is busting the public budget on expensive chocolate cakes and golf carts for the Secret Service our taxpayer dollars actually flow into his personal portfolio.

But, but, but........he is worth EVERY PENNY ! When you hire a guy who thinks toilets should be gold plated, this is what you get. Between us paying for his protection and the protection of that whole gold digging clan (including two worthless sons who jet off on their own business meetings) , we have paid more in 7 months than most Presidents rack up in a few years.
He has also cost a small fortune in LOCAL government costs, when he flies into his Fl and NY or NJ homes. The Trumpees will find SOME good excuse of why this is ok though, just wait.
However, I recognize that President Trump is probably not as cash-wealthy as he desires us to believe. He may well be 'wealthy' (taking into account his real estate), but having actual money is different.
Regardless, either Congress needs to amend the rules concerning protection for the family (President, wife and Barron excepted, of course), or they need to pony up the money.
The difference between 1 billion and hundreds of millions is kind of lost on me... somewhere in there I think he has enough money to supplement the SS. :P Just donating his salary to them, versus other depts, would prob be a great help!
Why did Mr. Obama need protection? After all, all his supporters should have been taking care of their Golden Boy, isn't this correct? Do you think Mr. Obama overspent much of the funds during all his vacations and parties away from the WH?
NO, since he spent less money and time on vacation than other recent presidents. Check it out.
i would love to see him do that.
he needs to start acting like a fiscal conservative.
