Funds for Former Presidents
We are a country of people who are homeless, sick and in dire want. In almost all areas of life there are desperate needs for help and money, just to survive.
We give millions of the taxpayers money to other countries. Some of them communist. Should we not take care of our own first? Now I read in The Times that a 31 year-old law allows the Senate with no debate to reward four past presidents and one widow, who are all millionaires, with $1.8 million more.
To think these people would accept more is obscene! Is it not time for the American people to right a wrong and change this law?
