Trump Sets A Shocking Record For Laziness By Taking 5 Times More Vacation Days Than Obama



Diane Finley
So far, those trips to Drumpfler's resorts and hotels have cost U.S. taxpayers nearly $100,000,000. Yes, that's ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS and every cent goes directly into Drumpfler's pockets in violation of the Emoluments clause of the Constitution. Add in the $175,000,000 it cost to keep Melanoma in New York for 6 months. That's OVER a QUARTER BILLION DOLLARS!

TAXPAYERS FOR COMMON SENSE WEEKLY WASTEBASKET

Bipartisan Budget Debacle Weekly Wastebasket | Feb. 9, 2018 WEEKLY WASTEBASKET Bipartisan Budget Debacle Congress has usually at least come up with sham offsets to counter the costs. This time they didn’t even bother with that nicety. Budget & Tax ,  Featured    |  Quick Take Feb 9, 2018    | 5 min read | Print Article It should have been easy, but Congress didn’t like the budget caps they set for themselves in the Budget Control Act of 2011. They’ve done this before. In fact, since fiscal year 2012 they have never lived under the caps, amending them in the American Taxpayers Relief Act of 2012, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015. But this time was different. In the past, Congress had the budgetary shame (dignity?) to come up with at least sham offsets to counter the costs. This time they didn’t even bother with that nicety. Instead they loaded the package with other taxpayer giveaways...

Griffiths (bgriffiths@politico.com; @BrentGriffiths) GOOD MORNING, MASSACHUSETTS. NY-14'S MASSACHUSETTS CONNECTION —  A progressive woman of color, facing institutional opposition and a significant fundraising gap, wages a long-shot bid against a 10-term, scandal-free white male incumbent. Sounds a lot like Boston City Councilor  Ayanna Pressley 's campaign to unseat Rep.  Michael Capuano  in Massachusetts' 7th District, right? But those were the contours in New York's 14th District, where 28-year-old  Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez  decisively defeated Rep.  Joe Crowley  in the Democratic primary last night. There's even a Massachusetts connection to the winning campaign — Pressley sent her field dire...
