When President Truman retired from office in 1952, his income
was substantially a U.S. Army pension reported to have been $13,507.72 a
year. Congress, noting that he was paying for his stamps and personally
licking them, granted him an "allowance" and, later, a retroactive
pension of $25,000 per year.

When offered corporate positions at large salaries, he declined,
stating, "You don't want me. You want the office of the president, and
that doesn't belong to me.. It belongs to the American people and it's
not for sale." Even later, on May 6, 1971, when Congress was preparing
to award him the Medal of Honor on his 87th birthday, he refused to
accept it, writing,

"I don't consider that I have done anything which should be the
reason for any award, Congressional or otherwise."

We now see that the Clintons have found a new level of success
in cashing in on the presidency, resulting in untold wealth. Today, many
others in Congress, on both sides of the aisle, also have found a way to
become quite wealthy while enjoying the fruits of their offices.
Political offices are now for sale.

Was Harry Truman correct when he observed, "My choice early in
life was either to be a piano player in a whorehouse or a politician.
And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference.

Note: How timely this is. Why just yesterday Barrack apparently agreed to get his “money-raisers” to help bail Hillary’s $20MM debt out but what is really note worthy is that $9MM of that was her money loaned to her campaign.

Now how could a lawyer from Little rock many years ago, that became 1st Lady of Arkansas and then 1st Lady of the US to then become a US Senator for 6-7 years possibly accumulate that kind of money honestly? Book sales are not that good, even if she wrote one.

Further, common sense would say that if she loaned $9MM to her campaign, surely there would be an additional 10 to 15MM held for her financial security BESIDES Bill’s money.



Hmmmmmmmmm. Looks like W’s not the only suspected rat in the wood pile.

What blows my mind is that she LOANED money to HER campaign.

Last time I REALLY wanted something....I paid for it myself....

Now I know that campaigns are expensive and there are people to back them....but my opinion....especially since she insisted on dragging things out....is that she should just be out 9 million!!

I'm sure she'll find someone else to cheat it out of...or excuse me....I'm sure she's able to EARN that money back...
