UNDER BUDGET: Trump Team to Return 20% of Unused Transition Costs to Treasury
January 19, 2017 By Rufus Shinra

With the official swearing in of Donald Trump less than 24 hours away, the president-elect is wasting no time following up on his campaign promise to reduce government spending and start completing projects “under budget”.

Trump’s press secretary Sean Spicer held a briefing with reporters today to deliver an update on the transition process and readiness of the president-elect to take office. He started by introducing Vice President-elect Mike Pence, who told reporters that the process has been completed “on schedule and under budget”.

“We will actually return some 20 percent of taxpayer funding back to the U.S. Treasury, and that is exactly in keeping with the president-elect’s expectations going forward,” Pence said. He continued by stating that Trump knew how to “sharpen his pencil” (despite how mainstream reporters have been portraying him) and they are pleased to announce they will be returning a portion of the taxpayer money allocated for their transition costs back to the U.S. Treasury.

With the outgoing Obama administration accumulating more national debt than all previous presidents combined, when was the last time you heard about the government actually giving back taxpayer money to the treasury department? Something tells me if this were Hillary Clinton’s transition team, they would have found a way to spend those extra dollars (or pocket the funds themselves).

Based on the fiscal 2017 congressional budget, GSA has been allocated $7 million to support the president-elect after the fall election. The post-election support provides the president-elect’s team with funding for staff, consultants and postage in addition to printing, travel, communication and continuing use of the pre-election office space. It is important to note that the outgoing administration requires support in its transition; $2.5 million has been allocated to GSA for this purpose.

may all be well
Curious what that 20% comes to?

20% of $7 million?

I hope the transition team will return ALL of the unused money to the Treasury Department, not just 20% of the unused money.

They are. They used 80% of the allotted funds and are returning the remaining 20% of the funds.

Terrible headline. Reading further, one sees Trump will return ALL the unused funds, not a mere "20% of unused funds." That's what a democrat would do, send a portion of the unused funds back. Somebody's been reading too much CNN slime speak.
