Millions of dollars are used each year for Presidential perks. If the average person was just promoted the employer, in this case the tax payer, would not pay for the party. How much does the Inaugural luncheon and ball cost the taxpayer? The amount of money spent on vacation should also be discussed. While everyone needs a vacation the recent trip to Hawaii according to reports cost the tax payer at a minimum extra $4,000,000 because the President had to do an additional round trip to DC for fiscal cliff talks. He knew this before he went on vacation so he should have delayed it.
