Democrats introduce bill to block taxpayer-funded spending at Trump properties
By Jordain Carney - 09/17/19 08:59 PM EDT

Senate Democrats want to ban federal officials from using taxpayer funds at properties owned by a president, vice president or Cabinet official.
 
More than 30 Senate Democrats, led by Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), introduced legislation this week in the wake of recent reports highlighting stays by Vice President Pence and the Air Force at Trump properties.

 
The bill — known as the Heightened Oversight of Travel, Eating and Lodging or HOTEL Act — would ban taxpayer dollars from being spent at the properties, including paying for lodging or food.

So who are the Democrats trying to funnel the money to?

If the rates charged are at or below former market rates charged for similar services, I don't have a problem with it.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
