it’s just paper!!!
Burn the whole ####ing system down to the ground and start over. Figuratively speaking, of course.
No conflict of interest here.
Nothing to see, move along.
Who could have imagined Clinton or Bush dynasties even fifty years ago? Maybe the fathers, I suppose. Now look at the Democrat candidates; Hillary and Bernie. One a corrupt imbecile. The other a Communist imbecile.
It's really hard not to be pessimistic about the direction things are taking.
But there’s no COLA this year and several other years during his presidency for Seniors receiving Social Security or federal and postal retirees, most of whom live on modest retirement checks and many of whom are not eligible for Social Security because their work years are federal time. If they do have enough quarters of eligibility to qualify for Social Security, the Government Pension Offset mandates a 60 percent reduction of whatever Social Security they might receive and perhaps a total reduction. In other words, not even a crummy one percent increase for seniors retired under this system or seniors receiving only Social Security.
Anyone surprised??
Why do Millionaires need tax payer’s hard earned money
In January isn’t the number of former presidents going to go from three to four? I would assume the extra money is for that.
Just the incremental increase is enough to employee nearly two people at minimum wage.
I know THEIR solution would be, "You're right. We need to increase the minimum wage!"
I say, out with the cost increase.
I see what you did there.
They should also cut out some of that staff requirement. Make the mopes answer their own damn mail.
Ahhhh the President Club. They’re all multi-millionaires. Plus free health care, pension, secret service,
book deals, speaking engagements, libraries.
In other words Obama needs to buy three or four new cars after the family gets off the t*tty.
“Former President Bill Clinton, for example, earned $132 million for delivering paid speeches between February 2001 and March 2015, according to an analysis from CNN. Clinton received $924,000 in taxpayer dollars last year by way of the Former Presidents Act.”
As Mel Brooks said, “It’s good to be the King!” - or a corrupt one who can get away with it, anyway.
“with a pension, office staff and support, funds for travel, Secret Service protection, and mailing privileges. It also provides benefits for presidential spouses”
They shouldn’t get anything beyond Secret Service. Not even a pension for 4 to 8 years of employment. Their bedwarmer should get nothing.
Can he do that?
Does the bastard want to keep Air Force One, too?
Of course he needs more money. He is going to have to house his secret service team at his new hacienda in Cuba, his Kailua house, his Chicago house, his Aspen house, his France house, his Spanish house, his Indonesian house, and his DC house. He’ll be the first billionaire ex-president and needs to keep that horrid wife of his happy. They can’t be expected to mingle with the little people.
NO p-resident should be allowed to do that.
Can it be undone?
