A. They are not servants, you make it sounds like they are lades and men in waiting.
B. The White has a fixed budget that it is allowed to spend, how it’s spent makes no real difference.
C. She also may intend to be more involved in some causes than some first ladies.
Avanti, it would be a morale-boost if the WH stood up and actually cut its budget to show it identified with the rest of the country.
