Chapter 468

Ao Guanhai let his assistant help him to adjust his suit.

Today was the day his family moved into the White House.

The consultant beside him was introducing the next process to him.

"After you officially become president, your salary will be increased to $400,000, of course, there will be an additional $50,000 allowance, and a $100,000 travel budget..."

Ao Guanhai smiled indifferently. He certainly didn't expect to live on his salary. Wang Group would give him a considerable commission every year.

The consultant continued to introduce:

"The residence you are about to move into has 6 floors and 123 rooms, including a bowling alley and supporting entertainment facilities, and even a chocolate shop!"

"If I want to renovate the White House, how much money can I use?"

"You and your family can use a total of 100,000 US dollars to renovate the room."

"100,000 US dollars?"

Seeing that Ao Guanhai's face became darker, the consultant butler hurriedly said:

"Of course, if you think it is too little, we can apply for a subsidy from the financial department. The previous presidents did this."

"No, no, you misunderstood. This money is taxpayers' money. Man, we are in an economic crisis. Let people donate this money to those in need."

"Do you still need to redecorate the White House?"

"Leave it to us. We still have 200,000 US dollars for my husband and me."

The consultant, who had just been moved by the president's selflessness, was speechless. It turned out that you thought the money was too little.

Bush left the White House in disgrace amid the boos of the people.

The media described his eight-year term as a mess.

Some Americans even called him the worst president in history. When he took office, the Internet bubble was at its worst.

Then there was the plane crash, which directly or indirectly caused hundreds of billions of dollars in losses.

After this incident, the whole nation was in panic and economic development stagnated.

In response to the attack, Bush launched the war in Afghanistan and used laundry detergent to provoke the war against Iraq.

These two wars, except for filling the pockets of some arms dealers, did not bring any benefits to the American people.

On the contrary, oil prices continued to rise.

So the people complained about him and thought he was a fool.

As soon as Ao Guanhai took over, he checked the country's fiscal expenditure.

You don't know until you see it, and you'll be shocked when you see it.

The war against Iraq alone has cost $780 billion in military expenses so far!

"So Bush left us a huge hole of more than one trillion dollars?"

The Secretary of the Treasury nodded with difficulty. Such a huge hole is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the United States, which is in the midst of a great economic recession.

Oguanhai, who had been eloquent in various speeches before, was also a little confused.

He found that after becoming a real decision-maker, economic reform was not as simple as he imagined.

"According to the convention, what should I do now?"

"President Clinton reduced the expenditure of all official departments, and even reduced unnecessary staff in the White House, cut his own salary, and reduced expenditure..."

"So the huge White House is left with only Clinton and the heroine of the zipper gate?"

When he thought that Clinton might be messing around on this desk, and yogurt was sprayed in the air, Oguanhai wanted to change a desk in disgust.

"Sir, this table is hundreds of years old. It is a witness to the history of the United States. Maybe you can find someone to disinfect it again."

Ao Guanhai waved his hand and said:

"Forget it. For the sake of my voters, I can endure it for a while."

"But I thought about it. The biggest expenditure now does not come from official agencies, but from the military of the United States.

Our new policy and large-scale development require a large amount of funds and budgets..."

The ministers stopped him one after another:

"Mr. President, no, once the military spending is cut, our global influence will be much less than before..."

Ao Guanhai was unmoved and said in a tough tone:

"Then how about reducing your expenses? Everyone will pay to go to work in the future?

Or you have a better suggestion. The budget spent on the new policy and large-scale development package is not a little bit. If it is not deducted from the military spending, where will it be deducted from?"

The people who opposed it were all choked. If they said no now, how could they mix in the political circle in the future?

How will the people below view their superiors, who are the culprits for their reduced income and benefits?

"First we have to withdraw our troops from Iraq, then start a large-scale reduction in the army, and cut all unnecessary new weapons research and development!"

Someone whispered:

"Is it unnecessary to cut the cost of weapons research and development?"

"No need? You develop weapons forAgainst whom? Big Goose or Dragon Country? "

"With our current economic situation, can we still start a war between major powers?"

"Or are you really in league with those Anglos who are making money from the war?"
