I agree, 0dumbo should be ab le to spend HIS money howeve he chooses but not OUR money for his wife for vacations after he tells us all we should sacrifice including giving up vacations.

If she’d paid the entire trip to where ever she wishes to go the she shoudl go and enjoy. But not ONE dime of taxpayer money should go for her to go anywhere.
Dont’ ask us to forego vacations and then have a non elected POS jet off at our expense.

Now if she announces that she will pay the entire cost of the trip, ski and spa away

'But not ONE dime of taxpayer money should go for her to go anywhere."

She's a member of the First Family. By statutory law, she's entitled to Secret Service protection - which means travel on government aircraft, caravan by government motor vehicle etc. Are you saying, then, that this family and every family that comes after them, should have to foot the bill for their own Secret Service protection whenever they leave the confines of the White House? To me, that sounds exactly like what you're saying.

Of course, you might imagine it also sounds absurd to me.

Pettiness and hypocrisy doesn't suit conservatism, ever.
