Payroll for the Biden administration has surpassed $200 Million, according to The Western Journal.
According to the outlet, Biden now has 190 employees more than his predecessors at this stage in their presidencies.
Forbes reports that the Trump administration spent $164.3 Million on personnel in four years. The Obama administration spent $188.5M over the first four years.
Biden’s White House boasts nearly 200 additional cooks — a grand total 567 — and has managed to increase the cost of goods, sacrifice energy independence, and surrender the southern border.
Six months into President Barack Obama’s presidency, 487 employees were employed at the White House.
Ex-President Donald Trump was not known for being a budget-obsessed chief Executive. The difference is dramatic in six months. Trump achieved much more from much less.

The White House’s press secretary Jen Psaki is a high-paying position that can cost Americans a lot. She earns $180,000 per year, along with 21 other Biden staffers.
While gas prices are high, no sane government would pay anyone that much to argue 16-cent hot dogs savings with Fox News reporter Peter Doocy.
