A bill is winding its way through congress that would severely cut support for past presidents. It would cap all assistance to former presidents at $ 400,000 per year. That includes their pension which is $ 200,000 per year. It turns out that past presidents earn considerable amounts of money in speaking fees and book writing. For example George W. Bush earned $ 15, 000, 000 last year giving speeches. That's right. The little moron who couldn't find Iraq on a map but none the less invaded it based on his "preemptive war" policy because he thought there weapons of mass destruction. And the miserable fallout from that escapade lingers today.And then there's impeached Bill Clinton. He's the asshole who repaeled Glass-Steagall while getting a blow job and has been favorably revising his presidency ever since. He earned $ 10,000,000 last year giving speeches. He talks about subjects that he has never had an original thought. Both these guys got more than $ 1,000,000 each from the government for expenses that include rent, phone bill, stamps, travel ad nauseum. They could afford their own expenses. We can't afford those expenses.
What's to be done? Well hopefully the bill passes Congress. But what else chould be done to to these unindicted criminals? Sadly we can't assassinate them now. But if we see them in public and they are close enough to hear our voice. I suggest insulting them. It's not much . But it helps the soul. Some insults would include asking Bush. " Hey George. Can you find Iraq on the map now?" Regarding Clinton, " Hey Bill, when are you going to shut up and stop lying?"
