Irked indeed
As you all know, I live and work in our nation's capital. One of the "benefits" of this city is that big white house down the road with its "most powerful man in world" resident.
However, whenever he goes anywhere, entire streets are cleared for an escort of 4 or 5 motorcycle cops, an entourage of several limos and four or so black SUVs, followed by another DC cop in a squad car.
Never mind the congested traffic and the snarl this parade produces. Never mind the shrieking of the sirens as they careen down the street. Never mind all of that. I'm really pissed off that my DC taxes have to pay for his security escort. That's completely bogus. There are something like 20 law enforcement agencies with jurisdiction in the district, but the residents (who already have an enormous tax burden) have the shoulder this extra for the cops on wheels? That's crap.
I know he's the president and he needs security... blah, blah, blah, but sheesh.
