This is sickening. I thought they were millionaires. Why do they tax payer dollars to pay phone bills and the like?? That money could/should be better spent helping people really hurting. Of course it won't be. And I'm nothing but a bleeding heart liberal for suggesting such a thing.

FR I can't get too worked up over this. If you figure that Presidents are essentially national CEOs, they make quite a bit less than their private industry counterparts. The Former Presidents Act, which provides for pensions and other benefits, is fairly recent (1958). It arose in large part as a way to help Harry Truman, who had modest resources. One of the things I learned at DC's Woodrow Wilson House is that Wilson (only President to retire in the capital or be buried there) couldn't afford to buy a decent house. (I can relate!) So ten friends chipped in.

in the scheme of things it's a pittance. I'd rather know why exxon pays no taxes than why Bush needs 85k for a phone bill
