| Since he can't become president again, he can't be vice president or secretary of state but he could hold a lesser position if it weren't all about power and prestige.
"I wonder why both of the Clinton's don't just avoid politics and do something wonderful for this country with all the money the presidency has brought them. We can always use financial support for museums, Libraries, and anything to raise interest in the arts.
The Clinton's have made a $100-million fortune since leaving the White House, but a Politico analysis found that hasn’t kept Bill Clinton from taking full advantage of the publicly funded perks offered to ex-presidents. In fact, his presidential retirement benefits cost taxpayers almost as much as those of the other two living ex-presidents combined."
The price tag for Clinton’s federal retirement allowance from 2001 through the end of this year will run $8 million, compared to $5.5 million for George H. W. Bush’s and $4 million for Jimmy Carter’s during the same period.
So much for giving of yourself........
It sure helps explain the question: Why politics? Now I'm starting to ask 'why should the citizens even care since it's no longer about serving us but all about serving themselves'. |
