What is business and America Paying For?

Without your employees voting America will fail.

As a business executive or small business owner are you getting what you voted for or just more government expenses that creates inflation your business or corporation connot compete with? 

Is America “We The People” getting what we voted for? Are we paying to much for the value of return on investment?

How much does the payroll of President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Pam Bondi, Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, Robert Kennedy cost each month.

Here’s a clean estimate of the monthly base salaries for the officials you named, using the current statutory pay rates (and the VP’s currently payable amount), with sources.

• President Donald Trump — $400,000 / yr → $33,333.33 / mo. Palm Beach Post+1

• Vice President JD Vance — statutory rate $289,400 / yr, but the payable rate is frozen (at least through Mar 14, 2025) at $235,100 / yr → $19,591.67 / mo. (Statute & OPM memos shown.) Legal Information Institute+3U.S. Office of Personnel Management+3U.S. Office of Personnel Management+3

• Attorney General Pam Bondi — Executive Schedule Level I $250,600 / yr → $20,883.33 / mo. U.S. Office of Personnel Management

• Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard — Executive Schedule Level I $250,600 / yr → $20,883.33 / mo. Wikipedia

• FBI Director Kash Patel — Executive Schedule Level II $225,700 / yr → $18,808.33 / mo. Wikipedia+1

• FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino — Senior Executive Service; agencies with certified systems can pay up to Level II cap $225,700 / yr → $18,808.33 / mo (actual SES salaries vary by performance, but this is the cap). U.S. Office of Personnel Management+1

• HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — Executive Schedule Level I $250,600 / yr → $20,883.33 / mo. U.S. Office of Personnel Management+1

Monthly total (using the VP’s payable rate):

$153,191.67 per month.

If you instead use the VP’s statutory rate ($289,400 / yr), add $4,525.00 / mo, for a total of $157,716.67 / mo. U.S. Office of Personnel Management

Notes & caveats

• These figures are base salaries (no locality pay for Executive Schedule) and exclude any separate expense allowances (e.g., the President’s $50,000 expense allowance) or benefits. Palm Beach Post+1

• SES pay (e.g., Deputy FBI Director) is performance-based and may be below the cap; I used the cap as a conservative upper bound.
