Mistakes, miscalculations, hot messes, errors, improprieties, blunders equals taxpayer $$$$

"A billion here and a billion there, and pretty soon, you're talking about real money." Everett Dirksen (R) Senator from Illinois

How much longer can we afford this blunder in the White House? He spent $14 million dollars a couple of weeks ago on the Reflecting Pool that is now the laughing stock of the world. Now he will have to spend millions more just to clean up his mess.

He spent untold millions putting his name on the John F Kennedy Memorial Arts Center. He has easily spent over $100 billion dollars on a war of his choice, and now is expected to pay billions more in reparation to end it.

The latest request for his ballroom is $600 million dollars and that is just for the basement!

The money is really starting to add up. It was a huge mistake to give this guy a credit card with no limit.

I guess all of America will have to bite the bullet to satisfy his cravings and obsessions.
