Title: Every president got richer after leaving the white House except for Trump
Post by: Brent on August 14, 2024, 01:03:06 PM
Every president, Republican or Democrat has been better off after leaving the white house, except for Donald Trump. In the case of Democratic presidents, much, much better off.

That is absolutely shocking.

I wonder where their millions are coming from for it certainly isn't their salaries.

 :crampe:   Yeah, I'm sure Obama got his Beachfront estate in Hawaii, his house on Martha's Vinyard and his Washington D.C. and Chicago townhouses on the proceeds from his books that no one ever bought or read.

W Bush & his henchman Dick Cheney sold the USA's soul & fiscal health for their own personal greed & Big Oil.

W made the USA the wreck that it is today. Even Trump said so.

Lesson: never trust latent alcoholics with the Presidency.

That's what you get for typing on the phone.  No one cares anyway, we all know what you meant.  Deciphering poasts is almost half the fun of reading message boards. :)

Jo Jo darling, you sound like a broken record. Even this video shows Clinton and Obama profited more off their time in office than any other presidents.

We will see what the final tally is for Mr Biden after he is wheeled out of office.

While certainly flawed Clinton was one of the best post war Presidents the USA ever had.

Created surpluses balanced the budget & got bipartisan support from Republicans to do it.

Clinton was the most even keeled President of recent times because he managed to keep the extremes on Left & Right in check which were starting to rise in America.

As we see with Left and Right at each other's throats in America today that was no small feat.

Clinton was a centrist President who found the perfect balance

Sweetie, how many times do we have to explain to you that Newt Gingrich and congress balanced the budget.

Congress controls spending, not the president.

And I thought his predecessor George HW Bush was not given enough credit for making Clinton s job easier avatar_Reggie Essent Reggie.

I remember Americans & especially Republicans snagged him for breaking his no new taxes pledge but it in end history proved him correct. He raised taxes for the greater good.

Trouble is nobody wants to swallow the necessary pain to bring a better tomorrow anymore.

HW grew up in the depression & volunteered for wwII. But that mentality doesn't exist anymore

There is no good that comes from taking more money away from those that earn it Sugarplum. Any government that raises taxes is spending too much.

Bush the elder was a Deep State Rino scumbag.  There is no such thing as "taxes being raised for the greater good."  This idea is a fairy tale told by those with a vested interest in taxation to justify their theft and dupe the idiots that are made to pay taxes at the point of a gun.

Taxation is theft.  Pure and simple.  And the taxes we all pay today are no different than the first taxes ever paid -- when a group of thugs stormed into the first village and said "Give us half your crops or we'll rape all your women and kill all your men and burn your village down and take all of your crops!"

The only "greater good" served is always the greater good for those who suck their livings from those who pay the taxes.

Clinton raised taxes with the blessing a Republican controlled House & Senate.

And giving credit to them both, the USA prospered reaching heights never to be seen again.

The Tax Reform Act of 1993 hurt the poor the most because it raised taxes on gasoline and Social Security benefits.

And it was passed before the red wave of 94 and the Contract With America written by Newt Gingrich and Dick Armey.

On the first day of their majority in the House, the Republicans promised to bring up for vote, eight major reforms:

Require all laws that apply to the rest of the country also apply to Congress;
Select a major, independent auditing firm to conduct a comprehensive audit of Congress for waste, fraud or abuse;
Cut the number of House committees, and cut committee staff by one-third;
Limit the terms of all committee chairs;
Ban the casting of proxy votes in committee;
Require committee meetings to be open to the public;
Require a three-fifths majority vote to pass a tax increase;
Guarantee an honest accounting of the federal budget by implementing zero base-line budgeting.

Singapore's prime minister receives a salary nearly 5 times that of the president of the USA.

The rational for that it is a big salary disincentives using their office to make themselves very rich like Bill Clinton did.

Not that it would be possible here. Singapore is a lot more transparent than the US or Canada. Any pm or senior cabinet minister attemting to sell influence to foreign nations like Biden did would be removed from parliament.

Bullshit. The US reached far greater heights when Trump cut taxes for the middle class and got the fuck out of the way of gas drilling.

Not wasting a ton of military spending on new wars helped too. You sir, are as full of shit as Aidsmin is of cock.
