crickets from the right

According to The Wall Street Journal, in the three months before Melania moved to Washington, she cost us over $675,000 in military flights alone. Could you even imagine if Obama had been living in the White House and his wife and children decided to live elsewhere? Conservatives’ minds would have exploded. While those of us on the Left kept pointing out how much these separate living arrangements cost us, it was nothing to them – $1 Million per day, for 90 days, that the most recent Mrs. Trump didn’t live with her husband. With these costs added, Melania surpassed Michelle’s eight-year solo expenses in just three months.

Melania Cost Taxpayers More In Three Months Than Michelle Did In Eight Years

 

[The Breeze]

You're worried about chump change travel expenses but, are okay with the millions already spent on a fictitious witch hunt because the libtards refuse to accept the results of our duly elected president. You people are too much.

 

[DOTR]

That’s cheap for transporting the beautiful consort of a god-emperor.

Let's talk about the $500 million a day that we have to pay to take care of all of the illegals Democrats brought here. It costs America over $162,000,000,000.00/yr to take care of all of the immigrants that politicians have brought to this country illegally. Nevermind all of the refugees they've been pumping into this country. George Soros could pay for the extra expense of Melania staying in her home in New York by looking through his couch cushions.

 

[strollingbones]

so we should have no concerns over any spending now.....btw i objected to the spending down by the obamas on the tax payer dime also.......just so you know...what people you are addressing

 

[strollingbones]

do you have a link for any of that mud? i want the link for the illegal democrats please

You're right. I can imagine if Obama's wife had done this. The left would have 'poo-poo'd' the expense and chalked it off as right wing 'victim status' nonsense.

Now ask Me if I care.

Did you see the increased spending they just passed? The right can't even pretend to be fiscally responsible anymore.

Let's also look at all of the multi-million dollar parties charged to the taxpayers.....and $1.2 million/yr it took to make Michelle's ugly mug looking presentable. All of that stuff Trump pays for himself. He never took a cent of his pay.
Then let's talk about the $4.2 billion to take care of 4 people when the entire British Royal Family only cost $500 million in the same time period. I think that alot of this is because of the extra costs it takes to just be POTUS.

Spending only matters to a Democrat when there's a Republican in the WH.

You have a link for that?

Try Googling $162 billion/yr to pay for illegals.

 

[strollingbones]

no you tossed it out there you provide the link.....simple as that

 

[gipper]

or for that figure

$162,000,000,000.00/yr t

You have a link for that?

It is in the article posted.

This outrageous expense should not be allowed. If the First Lady chooses not to live in WH, she should cover the costs. Not US taxpayers.

Secondly, we should not be paying for security for the children of the first family if they live outside the WH. $400,000 for ski vacation for Ivanka and Jared, is fucked up.

WASHINGTON — Immigrants are a net boon to the national economy, having paid $162 billion in taxes last year and providing crucial support for the troubled Social Security system, according to a study scheduled for release today.

Sponsored by an immigration advocacy group and a libertarian think tank that supports loose borders, the report synthesizes about 30 recent studies on the fiscal impact of immigration and offers some original research. It says that high levels of immigration result in a massive transfer of wealth to the United States, and that the influx of young workers will help pay retirement benefits to aging baby boomers.

But although the federal government profits from immigration, cities and states with large foreign-born populations--led by Los Angeles and California--suffer, the report says. That is because immigrants get half of their public services at the local level, while 70 cents of every tax dollar goes to Washington.

The report by the Cato Institute think tank and the National Immigration Forum found that the foreign-born pay a disproportionately low amount of taxes: Immigrants make up more than 9% of the population, but accounted for 8.3% of the taxes paid.

But overall, "all of these findings lead to one inescapable conclusion about the fiscal impact of the new immigrants: They do not cost--they pay," economist Stephen Moore wrote in the report, a copy of which was provided to The Times. "The net fiscal impact is positive."

The report is the latest in a series of high-profile attempts at a cost-benefit analysis of immigration, and comes in a highly charged political atmosphere. There is little consensus--one recent study asserted that immigrants pump an extra $10 billion into the economy each year, but another said they are a $12-billion drag on the nation.

"This is junk science," Dan Stein of the Federation for American Immigration Reform said after reading the latest 28-page study. "Its purpose is to mislead policymakers by perpetuating confusion to produce inertia. . . . It's a piece of propaganda."

Frank Sharry of the National Immigration Forum, the study's co-sponsor, contends that the new analysis is "the immigrant opponent's worst nightmare."

"Five years ago, these folks were saying that immigrants hurt the economy, cause unemployment and drain budgets. We now have the strongest economy in the world, the lowest unemployment in a generation--at the same time we have generous levels of immigration," Sharry said. "They've been proven wrong by the facts. If I were them, I'd be upset, too."

In large part, the new report regurgitates findings of other researchers, often juxtaposing them against one another to make a new point. It estimates that the nation's 25 million legal and illegal immigrants each contribute $20,000 to $80,000 more in taxes than they use in services over their lifetimes, and says that families with naturalized citizens pay about $1,500 more annually in federal taxes than native-born families.

Immigrants Are a Boon to Economy, Study Says

now you need to supply the link showing they cost that much this says they pay that much in taxes?

 

[TNHarley]

They should do the right thing and pay us back. Their families convenience shouldnt cost us. Especially that much.
But what else is new?
Out with the old, in with the old.

And you actually believe that any of our Representatives are or ever have been fiscally responsible?

You did it first...

No, you did it...

No. It was you...

No. You...

Fuck that, no they're not.

A) They take American's jobs

B) They send money to Mexico

C) They suck up social services meant for Americans. (Welfare, food stamps, schooling, medical)

Illegals are a triple drain on the economy. I've personally lost 9 jobs to a fat white cracker that works illegals over the past 10 years or so. They will do it for cheaper than me and my white, cuban, and black friend can. Of course, the quality is gonna suck.
