Is 10 Million a Month Too High for Trump's Country Club Budget?

[21STEELERS21]

Apparently it cost taxpayers 10 million for Trump's 3 trips to his Florida resort.
It also costs taxpayers 500,000 a day for Baron to finish his school in New York.
Seems like you could pay for a lot of tutors with that kind of change. Seems quite steep.

I'll post this again for the one that didn't get it the first time.....

Wasn't this whining done in another thread?

Just another round of "When their team does it, BAD When our team does it, GOOD".

Carry on...

You people are pathetic. And how did you know this?

Because it was reported on ABC, CBS, CNBC, MSN...and not a peep out of these news organizations when Obama took that 35 million dollar vacation to Hawaii.

Same goes with the reported "chaos" in the Trump White House over the firing of Flynn...where was the reported chaos when 6-8 Obama appointees either refused or resigned their positions when that turd first took office?

Some really evil **** goin on tryin to take Trump down, whatever opportunity comes along.....the Never Trumpers, the Republican establishment, even some conservatives in on it as well along with the media.

The total for Obama's 8 years is reported at 96 million. The Trumps are on pace to exceed that in the first year.
Trump has played golf 6 times in first 31 days, he will likely exceed Eisenhower as the golfingest President of all time.

Most of you are hypocrites, yelling every time Obama played golf, even though he mainly played on military bases, unless
on vacation and looking the other way when a Republican does it.

 

[IndySteel]

I don't care if he golfs everyday. The difference is he gets **** done. Trump started working before he even took office. And he even works on weekends. Obama added over $9 TRILLION to our national debt, more than all other presidents combined. Let's see how Trump ends up comparing to that and how the economy is after four years compared to when Obama left. The stock market has already had the largest one month increase by a new president since FDR. MAGA!

Am I happy that Trump is costing the taxpayers a lot of money relative to his Florida travel? No.

Would I prefer that all Presidents pay for their own vacations? Yes.

Do I think that ABC, CBS, NBC, WaPo, NYT, ChiTrib, LAT, NPR are to be trusted to give an accurate rundown of **** like this?

NO

if Trump's economy is thriving and robust in such a way that it is the exact opposite of what Obama claimed his was, and the ACTUAL unemployment numbers go down while the GNP goes up and our debt is paid down, then wtf cares if he golfs naked with Melania holding the tee between her ****?

I was always happy when Bammy was playing golf because it was one less day He was in the White House to **** things up.

I'm curious as to how you're going to measure the "actual" unemployment rate.

 

[Superman]

tightness quotient should be all you're concerned with.

adults here. no kids.

**** off.

In other words, you can't. Having a yellow bellied draft dodging coward as president seems to have rubbed off on you Supe.

Still running scared.

 

[Superman]

give him a wee bit more than a month. the jackass who inhabited the white house for 8 years really ****** **** up.

or would you rather have a rapist apologizer in the office now? if so, wouldn't she then not be doing the work in the black community which she professed to doing prior to the campaign? the same work she isn't doing now that she had her *** handed to her? or would you want the old white man who was robbed of the DNC nomination by the rapist apologizer? the same socialist ******* who sold his **** out for the DNC when he backed the lying, pandering ***** with hot sauce who robbed him blind of the DNC nomination?

**** outta here with your bullshit and go back to jerkin at Disney sitcoms.

You're still ducking the question: How do you intend to measure the "actual" unemployment rate?

one source. no idea of accuracy or political leanings. even the U6 measurements take people out of the count if they have been unemployed for the year.

According to that graphic Obama wrangled a nearly 17% peak unemployment rate down to under 10%.

Clinton went from about 12% down to 7%. Bush went from that 7% all the way up to 10% then back down to about 9%.

I don't know if the numbers are accurate, but we'll see if Trump has a net positive effect on them.

I'm curious as to how you're going to measure the "actual" unemployment rate.

That rate already exists, and it is called "U-5," defined as, "total unemployed, plus discouraged workers [no longer looking for work and thus not counted as unemployed], plus all other marginally attached workers, as a percent of the civilian labor force plus all marginally attached workers."

Compare the Obama "recovery" to other post-WWII Presidents for comparison:

So you can see why most Americans were dissatisfied with the Obama recovery.

 

[Steel Vanguard]

I compared Obama to his contemporaries. The economy is a much different animal today. And along those lines, people keep harping on the stock market going up after Trump's election, but it broke records under Obama too.

Bottom line: if Trump wants to succeed beyond Obama he's got his work cut out for him. Several of his plans, including the wall, look like they could be huge economic disasters.

I get that people don't like Obama, but his economic record will be hard to beat in the coming years as automation really starts to kick in. The "battle for 15" is going to send retailers headlong into automated kiosks and could cost millions of people their jobs. This isn't Trump's fault, but his mouth is writing checks that his *** won't be able to cash.

If unemployment went down under Bomma, why did the number of welfare recipients go up 50%?
