Well, at least this makes sense.

Ex-Presidents usually become wealthy as a result of speaking engagements, books, etc., yet we still continue to pay them a pension as well as expenses (staff, travel, office materials). Seems silly when they make so much money; the Clintons, for instance, have made more than $30 million dollars between January 2014 and May 2015. The Bush family has done quite well, too.

So, Congress has comes out with a bill to limit the taxpayer’s share of these expenses, based on earnings by the ex-President.

It’s about time. Let’s see if Obama signs it.
