“So what’s the definition of shared sacrifice, and what’s the definition of ‘forward?’ 54 Christmas trees, a 300 lb. gingerbread presidential palace, and a dandy $4 million Hawaiian vacation. Robert Keith Gray, a former Eisenhower staffer, revealed that last year the U.S. presidency cost American taxpayers $1.4 billion. Over the same period, the entire royal family cost British taxpayers about $57 million. There’s nothing ‘royal’ about the current level of ‘presidential perks’: The Obama family costs taxpayers more than every European royal house put together.”
