Biden uses Air Force Two and Marine Two like a taxi service, says author of a book about the Secret Service
Democrats outraged at the huge cost of Melania Trump remaining in New York so Barron can finish his school year
But Air Force records show that VP Biden would think nothing of flying back and forth to Wilmington multiple times on the same day
From the time Biden took office in January 2009 until March 2013 the vice president's trips cost taxpayers $979,680 for fuel and maintenance
In addition, Secret Service rents more than 20 condominiums in Greenville, Del., for its agents

And supposedly that creates an issue, since the SS will have to rent offices and housing in Trump Tower.
I didn't think anything of it but, recalled to my friend Ole Joe commutes back and forth to Delaware and had the SS build quarters on his property, which he then rents to the SS for his protection.
He is a landlord as well.
Kewel huh?
Well, Mr. Biden and his wife reported $19,022 in rental income on their cottage property in their joint tax return for 2013. http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/Biden-weekend-travel-Air-Force-Two/2012/06/04/id/441168/
Then I got to thinking "Hey, Mr. Vendome. What does all this back forth to Greenville, DE cost the Taxpayer, to support Mr. Biden's junkets?"
Glad you asked:
The cost of flying Air Force Two is $22,000 an hour, so each half-hour trip to or from Delaware costs about $10,000. Each golf game costs taxpayers $20,000. At that rate, the annual cost to taxpayers of Biden’s weekend trips is well over $1 million.
In addition, the Secret Service rents more than 20 condominiums in the Wilmington, Del. area for agents who must accompany Biden when he returns to his home state.
What's that Cost? Dunno but, when I lived in Greenville 16 years ago, it cost me $800 a month for 2 bedroom apartment.
These are condo's and the cost for them must be around $1,500 a month or an addtional $30,000 a month or $360,000 per year.
What do the SS Agents get per diem? Must be at least $150 per agent or $72,000 per year.(WAG)
That doesn't account for incidentals and costs for heating and Comms.
Nor the costs for maintaining operations at the Bidens and the condo's
So, Melania isn't going to the White House just yet so, gimme a break.
Hey Mods. I couldn’t figure out how to fit the whole title
Well at least they were okay with Obama’s golftrips costing millions and millions so it’s not like they are a bunch of hypocrites!
Did they carp about 8 years of mooch’s mom on the taxpayer dime?
I think you just dont even talk to people when they say this, just point fingers and laugh hysterically at them until they go aaay.
They don’t care
I tell lefties who tell me, don’t you think the cost is too much. I tell them, whatever it takes of your tax dollars it need to protect the first family we gladly spend it
And how about Obama’s bill to us taxpayers?
The known total expense to the American taxpayers thus far for all Obama travel is now $70,880,035.78. That’s just what we know about, they still haven’t followed up on some FOIA requests.
That’s well over 70 million.
2013 Christmas in Hawaii - over 8 million.
2015 golf and family vacation - $3,115,688
Fund raisers in Los Angeles and San Francisco - $1,176,120
The list goes on. Full page of links here

I’m just guessing, but Trump might spring for free rent for the SS agents who have to stay at Trump Tower.
The white house is no longer fit for human habitation after all the tramps and trash the Obama’s have let in the place. Have it thoroughly fumigated first.
I thought he took the train....
So the money the country is saving in Trump not taking a salary can pay for her protection and we’re still probably coming out ahead.
They’ll be on the proverbial rag for the next 16 years. Perhaps they’ll become anemic and quiesce before then.
Fumigated and degreased!
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Let’s discuss Michelle’s many, many lavish vacations at our expense.
Good point.
Her freaking mom lived in the white house for 8 years. Went on all the vacations.
When he was a Senator.
Ran into to him at some bar in Wilmington, where me and my newly minted customer where having drinks to celebrate.
My customer introduced me and told him I was Republican. I wish I could remember what he said but, it was pretty funny.
I lived in Greenville/Centerville at the time and my morning run had a 1 mile marker that was his home at the time, down by Mount Chanin.
I believe he has since moved
Well, there is not denying even they believe in walls...
And Michelle’s mom will be drawing $161,000 per annum for life, courtesy of we, the taxpayers.
How does that work out? Since when do we pay the parents of former presidents?
