Just 10% of Obama's $1.4 billion/yr. could keep all air traffic controllers working.

Barack Obama and his family cost the taxpayer $1.4billion per year, according to a recently published book.
This means paying for hundreds of Secret Service agents, travel in the secure space of Air Force and funding a team of doctors to follow Mr Obama around.
But even this essential expense can be exploited to political ends, according to Mr Gray, a former staffer for Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush.

So if Obama and his family just reduced by $140 million a year that would keep all the air traffic controllers working.
The National Air Traffic Controllers Association, the union that represents about 15,000 civilian controllers employed at FAA facilities,
confirmed on Sunday that the furloughs had begun. The budget cuts required by the federal sequester
led the FAA to require controllers to take one day off without pay for every 10 work days.

One day out of 10 is equal to 1,500 controllers. At $100,000/year salary that equals $150 million or about 10% of Obama's $1.4 billion cost to tax payers!!!

Oh and by the way... everyone seems to forget..
A) Sequester was Obama's idea.
B) Furlough doesn't mean people won't get paid.. THEY will receive the back pay.
C) Obama takes $50,000 deduction for a home mortgage on his Chicago home where he has spent fewer then ??? days?? We don't know!
