No White House Recession: Obama’s 454 Staffers Cost Taxpayers $37,121,463

According to a report in the New York Post, President Obama’s White House employs 454 people with an annual cost of $37,121,463. The administration can point to the fact that there are 15 fewer people on the payroll this year, representing a savings of $1.7 million dollars a year.
