Hillary Rodham Clinton, as a New York State Senator,now comes under this fancy "Congressional Retirement and Staffing Plan," which means that even if she never gets re-elected, she STILL receives her Congressional salary until she dies.

If Bill outlives her, he then inherits HER salary until HE dies. He is already getting his Presidential salary until he dies. If Hillary outlives Bill, she also gets HIS salary until she dies. Guess who pays for that?

WE DO!

It's common knowledge that in order for her to establish NY residency, they purchased a million dollar-plus house in upscale Chappaqua, New York.

Makes sense. They are entitled to Secret Service protection for life. Still makes sense.

Here is where it becomes interesting. Their mortgage payments hover at around $10,000 per month. BUT, an extra residence HAD to be built within the acreage to house the Secret Service agents.

The Clintons charge the Federal government $10,000 monthly rent for the use of that extra residence, which is just about equal to their mortgage payment. This means that we, the taxpayers, are paying the Clintons salary, mortgage, transportation, safety and security, as well as the salaries for their 12 man staff - and, this is all perfectly legal!

When she runs for President, will you vote for her?

But we'll save $$$ when W loses his SS protection 10 years after he leaves office.

They are entitled to Secret Service protection for life. Still makes sense.

I don't understand your post what did you quote from,what are you saying?

[Tickle Me Pank]

Quoted from the email you posted.

Clinton is the last prez to have lifetime Secret Service protection.

I don't understand your post what did you quote from,what are you saying?

[Tickle Me Pank]

The info in this email is ancient, btw.

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

I realize this is just a widely forwarded e-mail with no source. But somehow I don't doubt we are paying the Clinton's mortgage.

What is the update on all their owed legal fees?Did their (gag) book deals pay this?Did they ever return the things they stole from the white house? Who is paying for Hillary's D.C. dwellings?

[hmmmmm]

Clinton made it law that all ex-Presidents, himself excluded, only receive SS protection for 10 years after they leave office.

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

I never knew we were flipping their NY house bill I thought some fat cat friend undersigned the mortgage.

[Tickle Me Pank]

That's how it was written by the Republican Congress at the time.

Clinton made it law that all ex-Presidents, himself excluded, only receive SS protection for 10 years after they leave office.

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

But when did we say we would flip his mortgage payment, loophole or not... These hillbilly white trash people won't stop! And to think she may seek the Presidency.

Horrifying!!!!!

[Tickle Me Pank]

Similar rental arrangements have been made with all ex-prez since we started paying for SS protection for them.

[hmmmmm]

I'd ask you to prove that but it wouldn't be fair because, at the moment, I don't have the energy to debate you.

OT, I don't recall seeing your "name" before, do you hide a lot or am I less observant than I choose to acknowledge?

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

The word LIBRARY was definitely mis-spelled here

As it is a LIEBRARY.

[hmmmmm]

Wasn't there something that said we owed them that little bit for all their service to the country? *L*

We're all doomed should her day ever come.

[Tickle Me Pank]

I'd ask you to prove that but it wouldn't be fair because, at the moment, I don't have the energy to debate you.

Given that Clinton only had a non-Republican Congress for 2 years, guess I have a 75% chance of being right, eh? :>) Law passed Congress in 1997, I believe.

OT, I don't recall seeing your "name" before, do you hide a lot or am I less observant than I choose to acknowledge?

The latter, I suspect.

Bill and Hillary Pensions and House Payment-Fiction!

Summary of the eRumor The message alleges that even if Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is not reelected, she'll get her full salary as a pension. If she dies, it goes to Bill Clinton. If Bill Clinton dies, his full presidential pension goes to Hillary. And, they are having the government pay their house payment in New York.

The Truth This "don't re-elect Hillary" message is composed of a string of false stories. Although the compensation and retirement benefits of members of Congress are controversial, it is not true that Senator Clinton would leave office with her full congressional salary. According to the National Taxpayers Union, the pension for members of Congress varies depending on tenure in office, age of retirement, and the average salary when they left. It can also take other federal service into account. No one, however, leaves office with a pension that equals full congressional salary and especially not after just one term. As former president, Bill Clinton does receive a pension, but it is reduced upon his death. The story about the Clintons financing their house payment by charging for the Secret Service is not true.

[hmmmmm]

*L* I'm not quite ready to call uncle, I only wish I was not so tired at the moment... was it not an Executive Order?

OT, I don't recall seeing your "name" before, do you hide a lot or am I less observant than I choose to acknowledge? The latter, I suspect.

I'll not quibble with you here :), I'm not the most observant person around.

I just checked out the web site to see if it was fair, I found this one: Hillary Clinton Once Supported Black Panthers on Trial For Murder- Truth!

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

LOL

[Tickle Me Pank]

...was it not an Executive Order?

No, it's now Public Law 103-329, but I do stand partially corrected - the law was passed in 1994, the 1997 was effective date of operation.

Per US Treasury website:

Congress passed legislation in 1994 stating that Presidents elected to office after January 1, 1997, will receive Secret Service protection for 10 years after leaving office. Individuals elected to office prior to January 1, 1997, will continue to receive lifetime protection.
