Does anyone here know how much or know where to find how much it cost the taxpayers for Joey
to vaca in St. Croix? Including flying the 1.7 trillion (of our children's and grandchildren's money) bill down there for him to sign.

Just guessing...the equivalent of one Trump golf trip?

I assume Joey is accepting his salary. Trump didn't. I would think Joey, with all his China money wouldn't
need his salary or have us pay for his vaca.

From Forbes: "Trump’s Golf Trips Could Cost Taxpayers Over $340 Million". It seems an unlikely number, but Forbes is a reliable Right Canter publication.

Media Bias Fact Check rates Forbes as:

I would say that Biden is NOT on-course to break Trump's record of publicly funded vacations. (yes, pun intended.)

I would still like to know about Joey's trip. I didn't ask about Trump. He is old news. He is not President now.
Maybe the House will find out if the Repubs ever get their act together and start investigating.
Right now it seems Joey may be out of office before they get a speaker but hopefully not McCarthy!

Actually you are the one that first brought up Trump.

You can't have it both ways Watosh.... the optics are not favorable to your position.

You are right! I mentioned him first. However, my question was about Joey, not Trump. I'm still waiting for
an answer on Joey's vaca. Maybe Forbes will have it sometime.

This is one thing that I don't worry about. P**********l airplanes are provided for his safety as President. It's not like he could travel commercial, now, is it. The one that bothered me was the plane being used for an unnamed first lady and family to go on vacation to Europe.

But you did not seem to care about the cost of P**********l vacations when Trump was President, and now here is a dem in the WH, you are a super deficit hawk.

The question is germane.

Come on now.... did you see Chump's tax returns? Absolutely NO evidence that Chump donated his salary.

It looks like he took his salary in 2020, but in in prior years.
