So, one of my Democrat friends started carping about Melania and how she should "Move Into the White House!!!" Blah, blah, blah.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Wait Biden rents property to house the secret service? I thought Lizzie Warren and legion were all over some constitutional provision that federal elected officials can't benefit from leasing to the government?

Joe Insurance Policy’s home on a private lake was reported as a measly $5 million, thanks to Bank of America. It was payment for getting a bill THEY WROTE passed into law.

Joe’s got a history of getting homes at bargain basement houses in exchange for legislation. North Star, Montchanin and the present house are three that have been reported.

But he’s poor; just ask him. Yea, Clinton-poor.

They can knock off the cost the $400K President-Elect Trump won’t be taking in salary. And, I am sure, he can work the SS a deal on any rental(s) in Trump Tower (before he turns it over to his kids or some corporate entity/blind trust)

So no budget for WH first lady staff (how many were there on staff for Mrs. Obama) ... millions saved ...

No cost for Baron's DC private school ... and the SS to protect him ... millions saved ...

etc. etc.

It's probably a wash ... but the Dems need something to complain about or they are not Dems.

2009 article saying Chicago has spent over 2 mill watching Obamas Chicago house. That’s not including SS details. They still are protecting a empty house 24/7 for over 7 years.
