The That's Outrageous! thread

[lumberjim]

Post the most unheard of things you've ever heard of in here.

Subject: Did you know this?

You can't call them dumb!
If Hillary Clinton wins in 2008
And Bill Clinton is 'appointed' to fill her Senate Seat
And Either live to retire 'they' (together or alone)
Would get....

Two US Presidential retirement checks,
Two US Senate retirement Checks,
And A retirement check from the State of Arkansas.
About the only thing they MIGHT NOT get is...
A Social Security Check....

But I wouldn't bet on it....

I understand ole Bill has earned
$40,000,000 in the past six years.
What a guy!

AND THE REST OF THE STORY...

Hilarious Rotten Clinton,
As a New York State Senator,
Now comes under the
'Congressional Retirement and Staffing Plan,'
Which means that even if she never gets re-elected,
She STILL receives her Congressional salary until she dies.

(Would it not be nice if all Americans
Were pension eligible after only 4 years?)

If Bill outlives her,
He then inherits HER sal ary until HE dies.
He is already getting his Presidential salary until he dies.
If Hillary outlives Bill,
She also gets HIS salary until she dies.
Guess who pays for that?

It's common knowledge that in order for her
To establish NY residency,
They purchased a million dollar-plus house
In upscale Chappaqua, New York .
Makes sense!

They are entitled to Secret Service protection for life.

Still makes sense.
Here is where it becomes interesting.


Their mortgage payments hover at around
$10,000 per month.

BUT, an extra residence 'had' to be built
Within the acreage to house
The Secret Service agents.

The Clinton's charge
The Federal government $10,000 monthly rent
For the use of that extra residence,
Which is about equal to their mortgage payment.



This means that we,
The taxpayers,
Are paying the Clinton's
Salary,
Mortgage,
Transportation,
Safety and security,


As well as the salaries
For their 12 man staff
-- and,

This is all perfectly legal!

i've heard people say that we don't have royalty in the US. meh.
