奧巴馬夫婦在白宮奢侈浪費,超過小布什與克林頓
奧巴馬夫婦和民主黨一直自我吹噓,標榜他們代表窮人階層的利益。事實上,他們花人民的錢大手大腳,鋪張浪費超過以前的所有總統。
首先,專門為奧巴馬夫人服務,從政府拿工資和福利的雇員多達22人之多,每年的工資高達160萬以上,再加至少40%的福利保險退休計劃支出。她沒有任何職務,沒有任何官方活動,居然要用人民的錢,雇傭22個全職人員來為她服務(為總統服務的人員,為總統兩個女兒工作的人員,還有安全保衛人員,都沒有計算在內)。
舉一個例子,總統夫人專門雇傭了五位社交秘書,還有兩位專門負責她的旅行計劃,另外幾位負責安排每日的日程。白宮有專門的旅行辦公室,而且總統夫人除了度假,也沒有專門的公務旅行責任,卻花納稅人的錢,雇傭了兩人專門為她安排旅行?
克林頓當政時,希拉裏雇傭了三位社交秘書;小布什當政時,勞拉隻雇傭了一位社交秘書;肯尼迪當政時,以優雅社交著稱的傑奎琳,也隻有一位社交秘書;而在艾森豪威爾當政時,總統夫人的社交都是自己掏腰包的。
難怪奧巴馬在2008年競選時許諾,要把政府借債減少50%,實際做起來兩年半就把國債增加了60%。總統夫婦就是這樣花錢大手大腳,花國家的錢眼睛都不眨。上行下效,各級機關自然也是大手大腳。三年半就把國債增加了將近一倍,政府的福利救助開支占政府總支出的41%,全美國靠吃政府救濟的人數增加了50%。
奧巴馬嘴上說要節約能源,但是卻把白宮早冬季的室內溫度調整到曆史最高,是曆史上在白宮使用能源最多的總統,白宮的電費煤氣費用創曆史記錄,都是人民買單。
奧巴馬用納稅人的錢,為她太太雇傭了22個仆人(算上全職化妝師與發型師就是24人),每年的工資總額超過160萬美元,再加上至少40%的福利保險退休計劃開支。仆人的總數和總工資額都遠遠超過小布什的太太勞拉。
奧巴馬夫婦,在美國經濟危機重重,10%以上的人失業,45%左右的人民需要政府救濟的情況下,帶了一大群朋友親屬等人,到全球各地度假17次,隨行人員和安全人員多達數百人,浪費了多少納稅人的錢?
這樣的總統,空喊口號忽悠民眾,怎麽能再讓他繼續當政四年?

長在紅旗下 評論: There has NEVER been anyone in the White House at any time who has created such an army of staffers whose sole duties are the facilitation of the First Lady's social life. One wonders why she needs so much help, at taxpayer expense, when even Hillary only had three; Jackie Kennedy one; Laura Bush one; and prior to Mamie Eisenhower social help came from the President's own pocket. Note: This does not include makeup artist Ingrid Grimes-Miles, 49, and "First Hairstylist" Johnny Wright, 31, both of whom traveled aboard Air Force One to Europe. |
