Well, Susie -- I am sure the SS has never counted pennies when doing its job of protecting the presidential families --
======= As you know, the Clintons had to establish residence in New York for Hillary to run for the Senate. So they bought that big house-BUT there was no place for Secret Service which has statuary responsibility to protect the First Family.
So, a special ‘safe area’ was built. NOW, the Clintons are charging them rent! It just happens that their rent is about same amount as their mortgage payment!
In short, we taxpayers pay for the Secret Service addition, AND the Clinton’s mortgage! Such a deal, eh? What will it take for the American public to wake up?
Security measures of this level are not specific to the Clintons; the homes of all Presidents are treated this way, as (to a lesser extent) are the homes of former presidents. (In 1981, for example, the Secret Service spent several months providing round-the-clock protection, at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars per day, for an empty Pacific Palisades, California, home owned by Ronald and Nancy Reagan, even though the Reagans no longer lived in or used the house, and even though it was vacant and up for sale.)
The costs of installation and maintenance for security systems at the properties of current and former presidents comes from public funds, because the protection of first families is viewed as a right and proper charge upon the nation. The Secret Service does not divulge the costs of its protective details, but it’s believed to be in the range of tens of millions of dollars a year for each former president.
And I remember Don JR telling us that they only charge the Secret Service $50 per night to stay at the bedbug, rat infested about to be bankrupt trump properties. LOLOLOL
