The White House released its annual report to Congress on staff
salaries. At 4:39 p.m. on Friday. That's what's called a "document dump"
-- dumping information at the end of the week that they hope you'll
ignore.
But we haven't ignored it. In fact, a quick review found the
White House payroll appears to have grown since last year, going from
$37.1 million in 2011 to $37.8 million in 2012. The number
of employees listed also grew -- from 454 last year to 468 in 2012. So
much for cutting back, streamlining and saving our hard-earned tax
dollars in the midst of a lingering economic downturn.
On this
year's report, there were 68 special assistants to the president, 22
assistants to the president and 24 deputy assistants.
BTW: America's
"de-facto president" Valerie Jarrett and 19 other Obamatons on the
payroll are each pulling in a cool $172,200.00 per year.
Your tax dollars at work, America!
