Bush Gets 10 Years of Protection
President Bush will be the first president not to receive lifetime protection from the Secret Service. It’s nothing personal—Congress changed the law in the 1990s so that any president elected after January 1, 1997, will receive federal protection for only 10 years. Bush, however, will still enjoy a Dallas office, staffers, a travel budget, medical coverage, and a nearly $200,000 annual pension.
Can I have the pension? I'm having trouble making the mortgage every month right now.
When he's getting paid $200,000 a year for the rest of his life for screwing up the country at the taxpayer's expense, he'll need a security detail! Fortunately, I think he should be able to pay for it himself without affecting their monthly grocery budget...
Thank you.
