SO, WHAT DO ‘SLICK WILLIE’ CLINTON AND A SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASE HAVE IN COMMON?


Answer?  Both can, apparently, be very difficult to get rid of.  Because by the time the next presidential election rolls around, ex-president ‘Slick Willie’ Clinton, one of only two presidents to ever be impeached, will have received $16 million from taxpayers for post-presidential support, the highest figure of any ex-president.  According to federal records, we the taxpayers, courtesy of something called the Former Presidents Act, will have covered his pension, travel, office expenses, and salaries and benefits of staff at his philanthropic foundation.

Rumor has it that scrutiny of the act, as well as of the vast financial empire built by the Clintons, is poised to intensify, and rightly so, as questions mount about the family's co-mingling of personal, political, government, and foundation business. Critics have for years questioned the need for taxpayers to offer financial support for presidents, who have a multitude of opportunities for earning after leaving office.  But while the funds for the Clintons seem to be rather excessive, to say the least, they do, apparently, comply with federal government guidelines.

And it is only to be expected that officials there at the ‘Slick’, Hitlery and Chelsea Clinton Foundation have very casually brushed aside any and all questions about the use of public funds to supplement staff salaries.  According to the General Services Administration (GSA), which administers the funds, nearly $3 million has been allocated for staff salary and benefits.  Such an amount can be considered as pocket change when compared to the hundreds of millions of dollars donated to the ‘Foundation’ by ant number of questionable sources and shady governments. 

In addition, $947,000 was distributed for communications-related costs and for "equipment," which could include anything from "information technology hardware or software."  Perhaps, maybe, some of that money may have actually been spent on that very same email server that’s been in the news of late?  But, supposedly, a Clinton spokesman has come out and said that no taxpayer money was used to buy or maintain the private email server which ex-secretary of state Hitlery Clinton used during her time in office.  Well then, I certainly feel better.  You?

Anyway, the Former Presidents Act also provides funding for lifetime Secret Service protection for Clinton and other presidents, but the cost remains undisclosed. The law was set up after former President Harry Truman left office in 1958 to "maintain the dignity" of the presidency.  But I think we can all agree that it’s now far too late for us to be concerned about maintaining the ‘dignity’ of the presidency.  Because what dignity remained after Jimmy Carter was reduced still further by ‘Slick Willie’ Clinton and will have been totally eradicated by Barry “Almighty”.

Pete Sepp, president of the National Taxpayers Union, which has urged Congress to scale back payments to former presidents, said, "The notion of former presidents becoming paupers in their old age was laid to rest with Harry Truman."  He went on to say, "With the prospect of ex-presidents becoming even more deeply involved in post-career politics, there should be more motivation now than ever before to try and put reasonable limits on the load taxpayers are being asked to shoulder."  Presidents today, impeached or not, seem able to command rather generous fees for speeches.

Sepp also warned that, in the case of the Clintons, the funds are effectively being used to "subsidize activities that could aid presidential campaign operations."  Because you see, as incredible as it may sound, ‘Slick Willie’ Clinton will receive $3.1 million in pension payments from the act through 2016, more than the amount that any of the other former presidents are set to receive.  And I think makes very obvious the level of greed possessed by this pathetic scumbag, that he doesn’t return this paltry sum back to the taxpayers.  But I suppose that’s far too much to expect.
