1.5 million people live in Philadelphia and the working-age population of that works in many different sectors. It's sad if layoffs happen but thousands jobs end and start every month in the city. Not all of them get a writeup in the paper. it could have something to do with it being a contentious political issue and that they are planning on running a campaign off this; the threat of layoffs is of course going to be used.

“You have to recognize that he’s not even taking a salary,” she said. “He’s not doing this for money.”

“When they say ‘Mar-A-Lago,’ that’s not a vacation. He’s wearing suits — he’s clearly working,” Kent says. “It stuns me that they say he’s ‘on vacation.’ I say, ‘What vacation?’”

“I don’t trust the bookkeepers. I don’t trust the people who say, ‘This president spent X, and this president spent y,’” said Roy Postel, 58, a real estate developer from near Chicago, Illinois. “The whole bureaucracy is against Trump, so I’d like to know who is getting greased to tell us what Obama spent. I wouldn’t trust anyone with an estimate of what the Trump administration has spent on travel.”

“I resented Obama’s going to all these places overseas, particularly because his agenda was anti-American,” Ely said. “But the way people make up the stories about the Trumps, I don’t know if I believe it. I don’t think it’s accurate.”

David Goodrige, a conservative who came from Australia for this year’s CPAC, said Obama “spent an unbelievable amount of money,” including multiple jets and helicopters. But whereas Trump had to pay for his family in New York to fly to Florida, Obama’s lived in DC, Goodridge said.

“With Barron and Melania in New York, Trump has to have a much more diverse security detail, and that’s going to be more expensive,” Goodridge said. “If Obama had Sasha and Malia in New York, you’d see a similar security expense.”

The day after President Barack Obama named Bears Ears National Monument, Bryce Canyon National Park tweeted out its exuberant support and noted that a spot for the monument's map had "long been held" at the park's front desk.

An attached picture showed an empty slot, labeled "Bears Ears," between maps of Arches and Canyonlands national parks.

The less-than-140-character message quickly drew the interest of Rep. Jason Chaffetz, a Utah Republican and head of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, who sent a letter to Bryce Canyon's superintendent, asking whether the park had prior notice from the White House of the pending monument designation.

Sue Fritzke, Bryce Canyon's interim superintendent who sent a formal response to Chaffetz earlier this month, said the park's Dec. 29 tweet concerning the new Gold Butte and Bears Ears monuments was an innocent gesture of welcome.

Chaffetz said in an interview that the questions about Bryce Canyon's tweet are at the "very bottom of the list" of investigations he's launched as oversight committee chairman, but he noted he couldn't ignore the message from the national park because it could indicate the Obama White House misled Utah's elected officials.

gee, what could possibly solve that problem of living in NYC instead of DC?

Super markets already started laying off people last week. That article only touched on the beverage companies who are planning mass layoffs next week to combat drops in revenue. These are full-time jobs for people who more than likely have very little in life and struggle to support their families.

It is a complete disgrace.
