QuoteThe bill, which was introduced by Republican Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst, would cap the pensions at $200,000, with adjustments made for the increase in the cost of living each year.
In addition, the legislation includes language that for every dollar above $400,000 that a president makes from things like speeches and other post-presidential events, one dollar would be taken off the pension.
I loved Joni Ernst's ads, they were funny and to the point, cutting pork from Washington spend-a-holics.
This begs the question, "Why are we paying pensions to these elected officials in the first place?"
They're already bleeding us DRY with taxes and regulations, voting in their own raises and health insurance.
It is past time, they live like the rest of us, and suffer under the same burdens we do.
If you really want to be nice about it, give them a Stipend when they leave office, like Bus Fare to get home. :woot:

We probably spend vastly more in tax dollars keeping past presidents in Secret Service security for life. I should think that cutting the security would save the taxpayers a lot more money. If former presidents really need security, they're amply compensated to pay for it out of their own pockets.
I mean, why the hell does Jimmy Carter need armed guards?

To protect themselves from Carter's incompetence? Just a thought. :laugh:

...gently taking the claw hammer out of Jimmy's hand and replacing it with a hollywood style prop, "Here, Mr. Prez, use this one for the camera(s)... OK, time to move on, Mr. Prez, get those teeth whitened today. Did you have a BM this morning? OH, that Depends? You're such a joker, Jimmy!..."
