The Secret Service Has a $3B Budget. It Doesn’t Need More Money.

The usual D.C. response to government failures is to call for more money.

There's now a back-and-forth between congressional Republicans and Democrats over Secret Service funding.

Does the Secret Service actually need more money? It has a $3 billion budget.

By way of comparison, $3 billion is around the LAPD budget.

While there are obvious differences between the duties and areas of operations for the LAPD and the Secret Service, the LAPD has more personnel and covers a wider territory and deals with deadlier threats.

It also has a better performance record than the Secret Service.

The two Trump assassination attempts came so close because the Secret Service failed to actually closely monitor the scene allowing the two killers plenty of time to set up.
