Any other conservatives concerned with President Trump's spending?

Seems fitting

CBS morning news just said Trump could spend as much on vacations this year as obama did in 8.

Obviously this is CBS so take it with salt. Little unsettling though

vacations

You calling a three day weekend where he actually does some "presidenting" a vacation doesn't help support your argument. Concerning SS for his children, sounds as if you're promoting a candidate with no grown children as a requirement for our next president. Sad.

Conservatives are concerned about spending, specifically federal government spending.

However wait for Trump's budget to come out at the end of March. You want to smoke out the fiscal liberals that hide out as conservatives within the GOPe camp, just propose Trump fiscal budget. You are going to see Republicans join Democrats in congress going apoplectic that Trump's budget does not spend enough.

Well it seems fiscally conservative to use somebody else's water and toilet paper.

In other words, OP's name checks out.

I'm more worried by his proposed spending

Right.. You should be. The OP is talking about peanuts.

The OP is talking in terms of millions.

Trump's budget at the end of March will be presented to congress in terms of trillions.

No one should bitch about the cost of protecting Presidents, their families, or playing golf, or vacations. Regardless of which party they belong to. Woodrow Wilson played 1200 rounds of golf. Eisenhower played 800. For fricks sake, it's the hardest job in the world. If they can't take a few hours/wk to decompress and gets soem excercise... well, frick off... you're a douche bag.

Let's say Trump is really extreme and it costs a Billion dollars for his travel and protection over his term... Congress spends a billion dollars every 4 hours. That figure would represent 1/100 of 1% of the federal budget over that time.

Protection for the President and his family, along with vacations and travel, just go along with the territory. It's literally the least significant thing you should ever talk about.

I fully realize the hypocrisy cause Trump did a lot of bitching about Obama before he got elected.

Point is... nobody should bitch about this.

What spending? He's been in office like 30 something days.

While everything you said is true, Trump and his supporters got themselves into this discussion. Trump's tweets about Obama playing golf when he should be working are well documented.

In fact, the White House is trying to cover up the amount of golf that Trump is playing for this reason. They released a statement this past weekend saying that Trump only played a few holes. Then Rory let the cat out of the bag that he had just finished 18 holes with Trump. The White House then changed their story

This is just another example proving that Trump supporters don't want smaller government or less spending. They just want to control the government and the spending.
