Taxpayers fund Bill Clinton spending  

The Clintons have made a $100-million fortune since leaving the White House, but a Politico analysis found that hasn’t kept Bill Clinton from taking full advantage of the publicly funded perks offered to ex-presidents. 

In fact, his presidential retirement benefits cost taxpayers almost as much as those of the other two living ex-presidents combined. 

The price tag for Clinton’s federal retirement allowance from 2001 through the end of this year will run $8 million, compared to $5.5 million for George H. W. Bush’s and $4 million for Jimmy Carter’s during the same period. 

Since 2001, Clinton has received more of almost every benefit available to former presidents — from his pension to his staff’s salaries and benefits to supplies. His $420,000 phone bill and $3.2 million office rent tab both nearly surpassed the totals rung up for those purposes by Bush, Carter and the late former presidents Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan combined. As a group, they spent $484,000 on telephone service and $3.8 million on rent in the same span.

I have a strong opinion & knowledge of political issues! I believe in progress, goals, and to obtain them compromise is a key factor. Limiting or Manipulation with Ultimatums are not Progress! MY HEROES = THE USA MILITARY THE PROUD AND THE BRAVE ! ALL TRUE HEARTED AMERICANS FOR THEIR DAILY ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR PEACE AND FREEDOM FOR ALL MANKIND NO MATTER WHERE THEY LIVE!! All it takes for evil to triumph over good is for good people to do nothing! Victory will come when the terrorists and Saddamists can no longer threaten Iraq's democracy, When the Iraqi security forces can provide for the safety of their own citizens, and when Iraq is not a safe haven for terrorists to plot new attacks on our nation.
