All those useless bastards have pensions. Let them pay for what they need from those funds. Stop raping the treasury. It isn’t yours to squander!

staffers carrying out the official duties of former presidents.

What exactly are the duties of former presidents?

Try as I might I can not think of a single one. Certainly the Constitution does not describe any.

Why does an ex-president need a staff and if he decides he needs one why shouldn’t he pay for it himself?

Every former president should get zilch expenses. Harry Truman drove his wife home to Missouri.

More of obama’s blatant, in-your-face, corruption.

And now they want Hillary, who’d make obama look like a piker.

the measure doesn’t provide enough time for these employees to be moved to another payroll.

Well, it’s not like they didn’t have prior notice...
