Ponder this in your mind.... As citizens, we are struggling to survive and pay our bills and reduce our debts. Why are we responsible, as citizens, to pay our fair share in taxes, to allow this kind of spending in our Government? It doesnt just happen in the White House.. it also trickles down to our local Government Offices too. When is enough, enough? Is there a way to put an end to this, unreasonable spending, now and in the future? Are these essential or non-essential positions? Why was the Government shut down????? How Much Assistance is Enough? Mary Lincoln was taken to task for purchasing China for the White House during the Civil War. And Mamie Eisenhower had to shell out the salary for her personal secretary from her husbands salary. Total Personal Staff members for other first ladies paid by taxpayers: Mamie Eisenhower: One (paid for personally out of Presidents salary). Jackie Kennedy One Rosaline Carter One Barbara Bush One Hilary Clinton Three Laura Bush One Michele Obama Twenty-two How things have changed! If youre one of the tens of millions of Americans facing financial uncertainty, earning less than a decade earlier, stocking the shelves from Wal-Mart or dining out at McDonald’s due to necessity - prepare to scream. Then come to realize that Michele Obama’s benefit package for holding the unelected office of “First Lady” and paid for by John Q. Public are almost unbelievable.
