[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm just a regular person and the amount of dumb stuff this dept spends money on is pretty infuriating.  Why is there also over 10k employees for a dept most Americans have never heard of.  Good riddance and I hope they go back to the core mission under the state dept.[/quote]

Again, WHY are there over TEN THOUSAND employees for a dept most Americans have NEVER heard of?
[/quote]

Because most of them are out doing the work in the field - different countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, mostly along with the support staff that goes with it.[/quote]

This is not going to build support - especially when people learn of the ridiculous compensation and entitlements these employees get. Did you know we rent houses and apartments for these employees that happen to come with full time cleaners and personal chefs?  The State Department only approves local landlords with robust personal service riders.  So these “aid” workers are living in penthouse apartments in Bogota or gated mansions in Abuja with full household staffs - all at taxpayer expense. In Bogota that comes with a fleet of chauffeured SUVs that personally drive their kids to the $61,000 per year British International School that - again - US taxpayers pay for. [/quote]

Trump places secret service agents in his own luxury resorts while he plays golf and yet here you are talking about people living overseas and helping humanitarian aid? How can you explain that?[/quote]

I recently learned that Magas think that Trump lets them STAY FOR FREE.  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

I was battling him about the House Republicans having their retreat at Mar-a-Lago and how wasteful it was. "Are you kidding me? Why wouldn't we use the free resort he owns?" "Do you really think he allows them all to come there for free?" "Of course! HE OWNS IT!"

"If the Democrats can go to Lansdowne Resort for theirs, why shouldn't the Republicans use a facility he owns? That's smart money." Yep, that's smart money on this part, all right. He's lining his pockets with your tax dollars, Uncle Billy. He refused to believe Trump charges the US Gov. He refused to acknowledge that it made better financial sense for the House Republicans to also hold their retreat locally with less travel money involved. [/quote]
