What is the magical number that we are willing to accept? I believe Bush cost taxpayers around $20 million just for flights back and forth from Texas to DC, and that doesn't seem to be an issue.
So what number between $20 million and $70 million is acceptable?

“Presidents don’t get vacations — they just get a change of scenery,” Nancy Reagan once said in defense of her husband’s frequent trips to his ranch in Santa Barbara, Calif.

Well, consudering the guy campaigned he wouldn't take vacation as POTUS, maybe somewhere less than Bush's 20 million since he complained Bush took too much vacation.

All Presidents are still costing taxpayer security costs when they leave office, even Bush today still costs money to protect. The only president in history to wave protection was Richard Nixon (hilarious irony).
Former President's Act
It's so stupid every time this argument gets brought up. It's not a partisan issue, ANY PRESIDENT whether Democrat or Republican, or Independent or whatever, is going to get protection and the only choice they have in the matter is to completely wave off security after they leave office.
They don't have a choice of how much it's going to cost, and holding office also shouldnt bar them from travelling.

Well, we know that for you it's all dependent on if they have an (R) or (D) next to their name.
