Yeah...a former President gets no benefits or golden parachute? $200,000/yr, plus medical care for life, plus Secret Service protection for life...Please

Pension
Former presidents are offered a taxable lifetime pension equal to the annual rate of basic pay for the heads of executive branch departments, like the Cabinet Secretaries. This amount is set annually by Congress and is currently (in 2011) $199,700 per year. The pension starts the minute the president officially leaves office at noon on Inauguration Day.

Transition Expenses
For the first 7 months, beginning one month before the January 20 inauguration, former presidents get transition funding the help them transition back into private life.

Staff and Office Allowances
Six months after a president leaves office, he or she gets funds for an office staff. During the first 30 months after the leaving office, the former president gets a maximum of $150,000 per year for this purpose. Thereafter, the Former Presidents Act stipulates that the aggregate rates of staff compensation for a former President cannot exceed $96,000 annually

Secret Service Protection
With the enactment of the Former Presidents Protection Act of 2012 (H.R. 6620), on Jan. 10, 2013, former presidents and their spouses receive Secret Service protection for their lifetimes.

Medical Expenses
Former Presidents and their spouses, widows, and minor children are entitled to treatment in military hospitals. Former presidents and their dependants also have the option of enrolling in private health insurance plans at their own expense.

What the fuck is wrong with the private sector. We work for a fucking living, unlike politicians.

Coach doing damage control...how funny

What are the odds that when the whole truth comes out, Axelrod is the one who came up with the entire story and talking points following the Benghazi attack.

And of course gave everyone their marching orders.

Not sure if all (libitards) are freeloaders or not us independents work, glad you still have a job as dense as you are. You a sanitation engineer like JD?

The government being "too vast" to monitor its own tax collection agency is prima facie evidence for reducing the size of government.
