The That's Outrageous! thread

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

Quote:

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.

Wow. We currently have a major hoohah over MP's salaries and expenses (some of them are as high as a combined 180K!, for their salary (a little over 60k and their expenses for running their constituency office and if from the provinces a flat in London, plus communications allowance) and the fact that one of them paid about 40k to his son as a 'researcher' salary whilst he was actually in full time education.

Ministers get, in addition to their £60k salary different amounts according to position held (bear in mind the expenses side of things is to run an office and pay their staff) so, the Prime Minister gets a total of £189k as his salary, plus he gets the usual expense allowance which is subject to scrutiny to ensure it is going on actual expenses (wages for staff, rental for office space, office materials etc). So, the person who runs this country is paid less than £200k per year in salary.

Pensions for Members of parliament are contributions based and accrue at (I think) 1/40th of salary with a 6% of salary contribution. It is a voluntary sheme, like any employee pension.

People complain like hell about what our MPs and ministers get paid, but actually compared to many countries they don;t get paid so much. Of course they can usualy make a decent amount of money on speaking tours and books if they've been in the public eye (Blair has made about 5 mill I think). but in terms of the cost to the public purse it ain't much compared to many.
