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.

Can this nitwit find anymore ways to p**s off the American people? When he leaves office (Hopefully through Impeachment which isn’t likely) he aught to be presented with a bill for all his wasteful spending (via Executive Order) Congress has the power to stop all this but they keep sitting on their dead asses developing calloused$#%&!@*cheeks! VOTE ALL THESE BUMS OUT!!
Don’t believe everything this site posts…….it’s posted total c**p before!Some sites are on FB just to wind the people up and this is one of them!!……If you haven’t noticed,there is a massive effort by parts of the US government to wind people up at the moment……..immigration,black people versus white……gay versus straight!……They WANT a revolution!
Why do the people not have a say anymore about what happens with your money. I thought we had a Congress, House and Senate to look out for our best interest. It is not in our best interest to give this idiot more money than he’s already getting. He did not earn it. He has become the worst president in the history of this country and now wants to reward himself for all but destroying our country and putting us in extreme danger with his muslim brothers streaming in illegally.
He can’t! All he can do is suggest it… And he has!
We should have a say whether or not you deserve anything you are nothing but a liar and cheat…
