Save the government $5,000,000!

Question

A president's pension currently is $191,300 per year.

Assuming the next president lives to age 80. Sen. McCain would receive ZERO pension as he would reach 80 at the end of two terms as president. Sen. Obama would be retired for 26 years after two terms and would receive $4,973,800 in pension.

Therefore it would certainly make economic sense to elect McCain in November.

How's that for non partisan thinking

Answer 1

They should cut out all pensions.  U.S. Grant got no pension and lived off of the money he got for writing his memoirs.  Today an ex-president can make millions making speeches and having a ghost-written book about all the great things he accomplished.  They should get no pension and no secret service protection after the first year out of office.

Answer 2

that's very clever, but those savings by voting for McCain will be lost when he submits budget after budget with $400-600 billion deficits in order to pay for stupid wars and tax cuts

Answer 3

That's a hoot!

Answer 4

if your accurate, what a shame.

Answer 5

dath vader for president!!

Answer 6

Yeah...if you think an outgoing president would get no pension, plus many other perks...you are not thinking of this country....
