secret service, broke


Recommended Posts

:lol:

WASHINGTON — The Secret Service can no longer afford to pay hundreds of agents it needs to carry out an expanded protective mission – in large part due to the sheer size of President Trump's family and efforts necessary to secure their multiple residences up and down the East Coast.

Secret Service Director Randolph "Tex'' Alles, in an interview with USA TODAY, said more than 1,000 agents have already hit the federally mandated caps for salary and overtime allowances that were meant to last the entire year.

The agency has faced a crushing workload since the height of the contentious election season, and it has not relented in the first seven months of the administration. Agents must protect Trump – who has traveled almost every weekend to his properties in Florida, New Jersey and Virginia – and his adult children whose business trips and vacations have taken them across the country and overseas.

-snip-

Overwork and constant travel has also been driving a recent exodus from the Secret Service ranks, yet without congressional intervention to provide additional funding, Alles will not even be able pay agents for the work they have already done.

I think a budget cap for the secret service is something every fiscal conservative can get behind.  

:bc:

Looks like Trump and his family will have to stay home for the rest of the year. 

you'd think. no more rallies, vacations, weekends at mar-a-largo....just stay at home and eat in.

Seems like their protection of the president and his family is a little over the top. How bout we give Baron and Milana a couple of full time protectors and let the other kids fend for themselves. Even the presidents detail could be reduced quite a bit and still provide plenty of security. 

 

Maybe its time that the secret service review their rules and relax them some. Besides, Who gives a fuck if trump gets kidnapped or taken out. We will operate just fine in his absense.

Exactly.  You're already witnessing what it looks like without a President at the helm.

The secret service doesn't protect the President from impeachment or the 25th Amendment

Your definition of "taken out" is impeachment?

I think Trump would understand.  All fiscal conservatives know how to live within their means. In fact the travel budget should be cut the same percentage as he proposes government departments cut their budget. Lead by example.

It should be cut to an amount much lower than what Obama spent since Republicans have already set the bar that Obama's expenses were extravagant and worthy of howls of righteous outrage.

Good point. After all his travel budget and family costs are something Trump has the most control of. He should show all other government departments how a  business person cuts costs.

A Democratic Missouri state senator from University City posted, then quickly deleted, a comment on Facebook saying she hoped President Donald Trump would be assassinated.
