The Government Teats

The Clinton Clan
The Clinton clan apparently knows how to wheedle its way onto the government teats. There have been numerous instances of this greed … the disappearance of valuable furniture from the White House, the abuse of post-presidential allowances and stipends, etc. But now Hillary has again pushed herself to the front of this litter of little piggies … spending more than $55,000 of taxpayer money on her recent book tour in Europe … $3,668 on a luxurious hotel suite in Paris, $5,100 for a fleet of Mercedes VIP vans, etc. … little of which she was so entitled. (This may include part of the cost of her taxpayer-funded security entourage … which isn’t peanuts … see: The UK Daily Mail Story.)

Does anyone remember how Harry and Bess Truman returned to their home in Independence, Missouri after the presidency?  Answer: In their own private car … driving all the way by themselves and paying for their own meals and lodging.

O tempores, o mores!
