So you compare someone committing criminal fraud with someone who naturally has a lot of expenses when he takes his holidays.

And if you want to play Presidential vacations, you ain't going to win that one are you?

Up to August last year but I doubt it's changed that much.

On Aug. 8, 2014, Knoller tweeted that Obama had taken 19 vacations totaling 125 days so far while in office. Those numbers have risen a bit due to the Martha’s Vineyard vacation, but that’s still many fewer than George W. Bush’s 65 combined trips to his Texas ranch and his parents’ home in Kennebunkport, Maine, which totaled 407 days at the same point in his presidency.

Not included in this data are trips to the Camp David presidential retreat in western Maryland, which Knoller doesn’t count as "vacation." Knoller told Yahoo! News that, through Aug. 12, 2014, Obama had made 33 visits to Camp David for all or part of 84 days, while Bush had been there 108 times for all or part of 341 days.

Now can we get back to Schock committing fraud?

Thought you were against all forms of government wasteful spending. Must have misunderstood your post.

Of course you did.

Since the President is never really on holiday, it's not unreasonable that there are costs associated with the movement of his security, communications, etc.

Anyway, do you think Schock should face the same punishment as any other crook who's been caught with his hand in the till, or would you like to find another way to avoid the actual topic of this thread?

Nah...throw the book at him, along with all Congress persons REGARDLESS of their party affiliation.

PS: That $40 Million was just on flight time for Air Force 1. Moving his security, communications, etc. is yet another story.
