This family spends too much money. I don`t want to say that the first family should to travel by public transport. But they spend too much money. Undeservedly, in my opinion.
A few examples:
- The Obamas' trip to Africa for Nelson Mandela's funeral cost taxpayers $11 million while the president was only in the country for 13 hours
- A 2013 trip to Africa for the president cost taxpayers more than $100 million
- In June, the first lady went to Ireland for a two-day trip. The cost to taxpayers: $5 million.
- The First Family's Valentine's Day apart cost the taxpayer at least $2.5m
- Our president vacations a lot — we’re talking $44,351,777.12 worth of “a lot,” with most expenses charged to the American taxpayer
etc.
