In February 2007, the Washington Post reported that Bill Clinton made $9-10 million the previous years on the lecture circuit.
$10 million in one year. Over eight years since leaving the White House, NPR reports Clinton has made $109 million.
So tell me why we are paying for his cable bill:
Former President Bill Clinton seems to spend the most across the board. His phone bill from the records KHQ received from 2006 cost taxpayers $104,000. We also pay for the satellite TV in his office, complete with eight separate receivers and all the movie channels that come with the “entertainment package”. Your cost? $1,800 per year.
GREAT SCOTT! Brother, that is a ton of pay-per-view porn.
We also pay for Bush’s subscription to the Wall Street Journal and $83,000 a year on “other services” for Jimmy Carter.
The article asks the most obvious question there is:
why are taxpayers subsidizing ex-presidents who are millionaires?
What is the answer? Tell me below in the comments.
