Fiscal Responsibility....

Dollar & Cents - SENSE!

For the Bean counters..From a financial perspective...

A President's pension currently is $191,300.00 per year, until he is 80
years old.

Assuming the next president lives to age 80, Sen. McCain would receive
ZERO pension as he would reach 80 at the end of two terms as president.

Sen. Obama would be retired for 26 years after two terms and would receive
$4,973,800,000.00 in pension. (read it carefully as it is almost $5 Million)

Therefore, it would certainly make economic sense to elect McCain in
November.

How's that for non-partisan thinking?????

Plus would he not receive Secret Service coverage for him and his family for this time? I thought that was going to be repealed but I am not sure if it was or not.

Guess thats one way to create jobs.

Math's wrong by three orders.

How is it that all these things come out with multi-magnitude errors? Simple math in your head makes this invalid. Round up to $200k per year. Now for 26 years, it is easily $5.2 million. So it must be less than $5.2 million.

I wouldn't mine a $5 billion pension.

You are right.
I should really check my emails better before posting.

My apologies.
