Nowadays known as the Secret Service, the Pinkerton Agency works to provide their all to protect the President of the United States. Without the President’s security many other presidents in our history could have been assassinated and we would live in a whole other United States. After 160+ years of existence the Secret Service is sadly considered dying due to its continuous failures and the large amount of money spent on it. Many government officials believe the Secret Service is overpriced and has failed too many times, from the assassination of President John F. Kennedy to the almost death of President Ronald Reagan. In 2012 the President 's Protection Act was passed which gave permanent Secret Service security to former first ladies and children of the President until they reach the age of 16 (H.R. 6620 112th). Our government which is in debt currently pays the Secret Service around 10.8 billion dollars a year (The Black Budget). In the current economy we have one logical solution to help our debt would be to exterminate the Secret Service. Pinkerton’s legacy still lives in history but soon may die
