I made a promise to cut the deficit in half in five years.
I personally
examined the budget for the Executive Office of the President and I found some
cost-saving opportunities.
One line item in particular stood out: "Presidential Ground
Transportation within the District of Columbia". For security purposes,
I cannot reveal the exact dollar amount, but trust me, it is exorbitant.
Every time I need
to stop by Congress or the State Department, the Secret Service needs to choreograph a motorcade with six different
exit routes. This is time-consuming and costly.
I am happy to report that I have found a better way. Starting soon, I am going to
take the Metro whenever I need to get around DC. I know it sounds a little crazy,
but hear me out. Those of you who live here know about "The Money Train". Every so often, you
will see a darkened Metro train whiz by the station without stopping. That train is carrying
money from the farecard machines around the system.
