The White House payroll under Joe Biden has come in at more than $100.7 million, the highest White House payroll in American history.
The numbers were crunched by government watchdog group OpenTheBooks.com, which conducted a comprehensive look at the White House budget.
During President Joe Biden’s first two-years, he spent $100.7 million on the largest White House payroll in American history, based on headcount. No White House ever employed 500 staffers. The Biden White House employed 560 (FY2021) and 474 this year (2022). In 2022, the headcount dropped by 86 employees.
Biden employs 100 more staffers than Trump (374) (FY2018) and five more than Obama (469) (FY2010) at the same point in their respective presidencies.
There was 39.3-percent turnover in White House staff, year over year. 220 employees from last year are no longer on payroll. This mirrored the turnover percentage of the worst year of the Trump administration (2018). The costs over the first two-years of the Biden administration exceeded Trump ($85.1 million) by $15.6 million; but the costs were $5.7 million less than Obama ($106.4 million), adjusted for inflation. (However, Biden didn’t disclose the pay of 16 staffers.)
The projected four-year costs of the Biden payroll exceed $200 million, compared to the 2017-2020 Trump administration’s $152 million (inflation adjusted to $163 million), the 2013-2016 Obama administration’s $155.6 million ($178.2 million), and the 2009- 2012 Obama administration’s $153 million (inflation adjusted to $187 million).
How is it not surprising that Joe Biden has the most expensive White House staff in American history?
Joe Biden is working to destroy this country as he enriches all his buddies. The “Big Guy” is the worst, corrupt crook who has ever set foot in the White House.
