President Obama has gotten used to living high on the hog, at the taxpayer’s expense and doesn’t want to stop his lavish lifestyle after he leaves the White House. He sought to increase the amount of money available for the federal government to spend on former presidents in advance of his White House exit.
In the 2016 and 2017 fiscal year budget requests, Obama put forward increases in appropriation expenditures of former Presidents. Specifically, the 2017 budget proposal is almost an 18 percent increase in appropriations for former Presidents and he had success in an increase in 2016.
Obama will be a former President, so his budgeting is not about his concern for Presidents Bush and Clinton, but rather an opportunistic plan to increase his pension after he is no longer in Washington DC.
So many Presidents go on to make profitable lives after the White House, writing books, speaking engagements that there does not seem to be a need for tax payers to subsidize former Presidents, if their own wealth is substantial enough to support them for the remainder of their days.

He’s stealing and who cares. Those in Washington are stealing right along with him , that’s why they see nothing or do nothing. They are lining their pockets too. Trump2016.
Hang Obama for Treason
Cancel that pay raise we don’t

Typical welfare leech…..
Lucy Collins Brinegar So true!
He’s gonna screw the taxpayers even when he’s gone.
Where is he going to get it if it is not approved by Congress after all they hold the purse strings.
Ivoted against him every time he ran and if he dropped off the end of the earth tomorrow I wouldn’t miss him at all. The only reason he got to be President was the color of his skin.]
