John, These statements are wrong. The retirement benefits received by former Presidents include a pension, Secret Service protection, and reimbursements for staff, travel, mail, and office expenses. The Presidential pension is not a fixed amount, rather it matches the current salary of Cabinet members (or Executive Level I personnel), which is $191,300/year as of March, 2008. The speaker of the House salary is correct, while they are in office they receive the above amount. Afterwards, the House and Senate salaries differ at retirement. "As of October 1, 2006, 413 retired Members of Congress were receiving federal pensions based fully or in part on their congressional service. Of this number, 290 had retired under CSRS and were receiving an average annual pension of $60,972. A total of 123 Members had retired with service under both CSRS and FERS or with service under FERS only. Their average annual pension was $35,952 in 2006."

What do you mean, save some money? It all comes out of thin air anyway and they know it. There is a lot of thin air out there and they sure aren't shy about suckin' up a bunch of it. As long as people keep on accepting it as payment for goods and services they'll just keep on suckin' it up.
