I recently read, “In the President’s Secret Service: Behind the Scenes with Agents in the Line of Fire and the Presidents They Protect” by Ronald Kessler, and if what Mr. Kessler is saying is correct, this is only the beginning. The Secret Service is underfunded, undermanned, and so stretched that the agents don’t have time to do the training needed to do their job well. It’s actually a very good read and upsetting at the same time.
I say give the Secret Service the funding and training they need to do their jobs right.... I bet congress lowered the funding for them.... and the Secret Service agents who do their jobs well should all get a pay rise.
