Trump's Leaner White House Payroll Projected To Save Taxpayers $22 Million

That Gagging Reflecting Sound you hear coming out of the White House are Trumps Loyal Subjects following orders. :lamo

First he CENSORS The Media, next I hear he's working his way through The Internet for anyone who doesn't Bow Down to him. Like Trump said, he could shoot someone in the middle of Time-Square and not lose any supporters, so it won't be surprising that his Loyal Followers will do the same o the Internet.

That has zero to do with the post. Go away.

His Leaner White House Payroll is because no one of any credibility want's to throw their career away for temporary Circus Clown.

If the White House payroll is a leading indicator of the president’s commitment to shrink government then voters have a reason to cheer. Projected four-year savings on the White House payroll could top $22 million. Savings come from President Trump’s refusal to take a salary as well as big reductions in other areas including the absence of czars, expensive “fellowships,” and spending on FLOTUS staff.

On Friday, the Trump administration released their annual report to Congress on White House Office Personnel. It includes the name, status, salary and position title of all 377 White House employees. (Search the recent Trump administration payroll data – and last two-years of the Obama administration - posted at OpenTheBooks.com.)

Here are some key findings:

There are 110 fewer employees on White House staff under Trump than under Obama at this point in their respective presidencies.
$5.1 million in payroll savings vs. the Obama FY2015 payroll. In 2017, the Trump payroll amounts to $35.8 million for 377 employees, while the Obama payroll amounted to $40.9 million for 476 employees (FY2015).

Nineteen fewer staffers are dedicated to The First Lady of the United States (FLOTUS). Currently, there are five staffers dedicated to Melania Trump vs. 24 staffers who served Michelle Obama (FY2009).
Counts of the “Assistants to the President” – the most trusted advisors to the president - are the same (22) in both first-year Trump and Obama administrations. In the Trump White House, Steven Bannon, Kellyanne Conway, Omarosa Manigault, Reince Priebus, Sean Spicer and 17 others make salaries of $179,700. In Obama’s first-year, David Axelrod, Rahm Emanuel and twenty others held the title with top pay of $172,000.

The highest compensated White House Trump staffer? Mark House, Senior Policy Advisor, has a salary of $187,500. Mr. House is “on detail” from a federal agency which allows him to exceed the top pay-grade of $179,700. In Obama’s Administration (2009), David Marcozzi earned $193,000 “on detail” from Health and Human Services.



This is a good start. I like saving taxpayers money for non-necessary expenses and I like when cuts are made close to the person doing the cutting. Didn't see this on the news, but found it surfing the ole' web.

A great start. Hope to continue to see more of this as time goes forward.

But that doesn't mean we are going back there. That was when the EPA handled pesticides, now they have scope creeped their way to taking control of the entire surface of the USA, voiding property rights where ever it's big foot lands.

You haters will not give him an ounce of credit for anything he does, even when it benefits us all. Sad.

Can you give a specific example of when the media was censored, specifically by Trump? I don't mean him bitching about the media. I'm talking censorship.

Or you could do what another poster did, and provide some links to bolster your suggestion.

Without such backing, people could just float any conspiracy they wanted.

Like, Hillary is a lesbian, and that is why her husband goes after young girls.

:doh

You suggested that the President's lean White House could be due in part, to the failure of Trump to nominate and hire good people to fill the jobs.

I simply asked what basis you had to assume that could be true.

And here we are again, with you obsessed and deflective.

See, that wasn't that hard, was it? That's all I was asking for.

Lots of opinions, some of them even probable.

All of them are extremely likely.

I asked a question. The obsession here is yours trying to nail me for something you want me to have said but I did not say. That is the only obsessive behavior in this thread.

Asking why someone would believe something could be true is not obsessive. It's reasonable.

It's not unusual for someone to respond to a question with "Why would you ask that".

Apparently you have no idea.

One thing I noticed when it comes to the more liberal press verses the right wing press is that although both sides use spin , the side on the left tends to be much more factually based... while the one on the right appeals to the emotions much more... but often uses information that is incorrect. The facts presented are correct.

That's a remarkable observation.

Considering the shellacking the left's MSM partners have taken over credibility issues, being forced to print retractions, and dumping the guilty from payrolls, I don't see how it's accurate.

How can incorrect information become correct facts?

I think you're trying to put a square peg in a round hole.

Why, your reliance on fox news and 'alternate' news sources has corrupted your judgement

To quote a bit of modern wisdom... "why ask why?" In your case its to change the onus of who has the responsibility. And you were caught at it.

Posting alt-left memes doesn't change reality, it just establishes the level of ability to engage rationally.

Have a nice day.
