NO, my article title is not from Ripley’s “Believe It or Not.” However, when I first started reading the story, I thought perhaps it was a fairy tale about an Empress and the Czars. As I read a bit further, thought a story about twenty staffers attending to one lady, was about the Queen of some wealthy Empire, in some foreign country.
Only reading a bit further, and seeing the name First Lady Michelle, her twenty staffers at an annual cost of $1,591,200 paid for with taxpayer money, did it hit me the article was about my country, the wife of the President of the United States, and my taxpayer money.
