“Taxpayers spent $1.4 billion dollars on everything from staffing, housing, flying and entertaining President Obama and his family last year. In comparison, British taxpayers spent just $57.8 million on the royal family.

But the amount of money spent on the first family, he argues, has risen tremendously under the Obama administration and needs to be reined in.”
