Biden bloat: West Wing payroll near $50 million, highest on record

The Biden administration’s Executive Office of the President (EOP) has 560 employees and a payroll of close to $50 million — the highest of any administration in at least 12 years, according to data released Thursday.

While President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are making their legally specified annual salaries of $400,000 and $235,100, respectively, more than 250 other officials are making at least six figures this year.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki, for example, is one of 22 West Wing employees pulling in a taxpayer-funded salary of $180,000.

Other prominent figures making the same money include Chief of Staff Ron Klain, national climate adviser Gina McCarthy, Domestic Policy Council Director and former national security adviser Susan Rice, current National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, and senior adviser Neera Tanden — whose nomination to head the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) was famously sunk by her mean tweets.

However, the salaries of those high-ranking officials are exceeded by those of two others: immigration policy adviser Molly Groom, who makes $185,656; and senior policy adviser for broadband Elizabeth Hone, who pulls in $183,164.

Idiocracy Defund DC
All the layers to hide behind
That Jen psaaki is a embarrassment nationally and a worldwide joke.
Open the gates, face the music and see what circling back feels like on y’all’s posteriors elvising the people’s domicile.
January 6 was y’all’s doings you know that and you’ll know the otherwise better.

With that many people on the payroll, the building must be getting crowded. So will there be an room addition in the next spending bill, or are these ghost employees who don't actually need a space to work?

It would be interesting to find out who is performing all of the I-9 checks on these new employees.

Keep up the clown show, Rat Traitors. It’ll be harder for you to stuff the ballot box next year and Americans will be delivering their verdict in the midterms.
