Wonder if this is true
I have not verified this and do not want to take the time, but I received this in an email chain. Likely some truth with exaggeration.
I have left out most of the email as it was not even of interest, but these parts were interesting. IF anyone feels like vetting the message that would be cool.

have also not proven to be competent. -- j

It's also just like a progressive not to live within it's means...
Past Presidents 'seemed' to live within their salaried means.
Of course, I could be wrong and this might be a misrepresentation.
All these comments are worth a read...they're a hoot
Bush had 16 according to the 2008 White house staff report.
Hillary had 19 according to the same white house staff report.
Nancy Reagan had 15 from the same report I found. By far the highest until Hillary.
The article that I found these in did say that these numbers were nearly impossible to nail down as it is a common practice to have "staffers" report in to other government divisions and be hidden as a result.
I think it is safe to say, that the entire email thread has false numbers, and wanted to paint democrats worse than republicans. It is also safe to say that we pay way to much money to fund a huge group of people that are not needed so that a woman who lives on welfare provided by the state can have a bunch of people around her that are also on welfare provided by the state.
Would not supersize me if Nancy also had a entourage paid for by the tax payers. .
