I would like to see a dollar to dollar comparison between the cost of care and feed of the British royal family vs the care and feed of the American royal family.

Obama family 'costs taxpayers $1.4BILLION per year' (that's 20 times more expensive than British Royal Family) 29 September 2012 - way out of date.

...dollar to dollar comparison ...

My understanding is that the British Royals are self supporting, due to fees and leases and such paid on properties of the crown. I'm sure that FReepers can set me straight if I'm wrong.

BIG difference, IMHO, between running up the tab on your own nickel, and running up the tab on someone else's.
