It appears that the leader of your party has decided not to bill the taxpayers for his personal edification commercials.
So there is a reuter/ ipsos poll that says 86% of Americans think this is wrong.
Keeping his word is not the president's strong suit. If you want examples I will oblige.
Since you work for the country I think its fair for the money to be returned and someone to oversee this.
It's not ok for anyone to embezzle funds for for personal use at the expense of the taxpayers.
How can we counter this illegal action and ensure it won't happen again.
For your convenience, I supplied applicable law.
18 U.S. Code § 648 - Custodians, generally, misusing public funds
U.S. Code
