“there appears to be a double standard at the White House. At last count, the First Lady's campaign for the U.S. Senate has cost the taxpayers well over $1 million. She is flying around the Empire State in grand style using military aircraft, full-time Secret Service protection, not only for herself but also for her campaign aides, and continues to drag her feet in reimbursing the taxpayers. She has reimbursed the Treasury just over $6,000 for one 4-day campaign trip in August, but in reality, this trip cost about $60,000 as they flew around in an Air Force C-20. So far she has only reimbursed the taxpayers $185,000, about 5 percent of what she owes. As First Lady, Mrs. Clinton should get the same security and security measures that previous First Ladies have had, but the taxpayers should not be footing the bill for a political campaign for public office. The First Lady should put the American taxpayers' interests first above a personal desire for power.”
