Super Rich Clintons continue to bleed taxpayers

Sphere: Related ContentNot content to have parlayed their public service into great wealth, the Clintons continue to cost the taxpayers money. It seems that, despite having written a book on it, former President Clinton feels more comfortable getting paid for charity than giving it:
The Clintons 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.

My personal opinion is simple. there should be no compensation beyond the last day of their presidency! Every one of them is filthy rich and need no monetary benefits what-so-ever. They shouldn’t have secret service protection either. Why would anyone really care about killing them after they are gone from the White House? They are no longer relevant in my opinion!
