I read that the other day. It's ridiculous--spending more than 3 other presidents combined.

I think we should drastically cut-back on perks to ex-Presidents. Why does Clinton, who has made hundreds of millions of dollars, get the rent paid for his office every year?

This ranks right up there with some of the pork-barrel spending that gets passed in congress every year, by BOTH parties.

If y'all really want to get upset about this kind of crap then look up how much the Government pays each month to rent space for operations to protect Clinton on his own property...last I heard it was roughly $10K/month. Coincidentally the Clinton's mortgage on that property is roughly the same figure. No links, this is from a story I remembered reading 2-3 years ago.

HillaryClinton.com - Hillary Clinton Tax Returns

"CUMULATIVE TOTAL(GROSS) INCOME: $109,175,175"


Edited to add: Who wants to guess how long it took me to find that?
