Looks like the Biden interregnum is experiencing extreme inflation.
Same as his policies are forcing on us. Saw this at the London Daily Mail:
Jen Psaki tops the most expensive White House payroll in HISTORY: Press secretary is one of 22 Biden staffers getting $180K a year in list of 567 staffers that cost taxpayers $49.6M
President Joe Biden has the most expensive payroll in White House history with 22 aides, including press secretary Jen Psaki and chief of staff Ron Klain, making the maximum yearly salary of $180,000.
The White House on Thursday released its annual staff report to Congress, revealing the salaries of 567 White House employees, which cost taxpayers $49.6 million.
The projected four-year costs of Biden's White House payroll could top $200 million, according to an analysis by Forbes, which would top the staff costs of the past two presidents.
Adjusted for inflation, the Trump administration spent $164.3 million during his one term in office and the Obama administration spent $188.5 million in his first term.
I got curious and looked for President Trump's numbers - everything points to around 370 people, not 567.
One article here at Heavy (from July 31st, 2017):
Donald Trump White House Staff: Full List of Employees
President Donald Trump is continuing to shake up his staff, with White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci departing the administration on Friday.
This is the third high-profile White House departure to take place just in the last 10 days alone. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer and White House Chief of Staff Reince Preibus also recently announced their resignations.
Clearly, this White House has been a bit chaotic, with firings and hirings happening almost every week. But there are also hundreds of White House employees who we never hear from and whose names have virtually never been in the news. Recently, the White House released its full list of employees, also including their salaries and pay basis.
According to this list, there are currently 377 people working in the White House. This includes five people who contribute to speech writing: Brittany Baldwin, Vincent Haley, Ryan Jarmula, Theodore Royer, and Ross Worthington.
President Trump was able to accomplish a lot more with 66.5% of the staff. All President Biden's staff have to do is give him his meds, make sure he gets his pudding and keep Harris from propping her feet up on the Resolute desk.
