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.

b******t
Yet Congress can and does give themselves raises
Allah is Not GOD..READ GOD’S HOLY WORD and compare it to the Quran AND YOU WILL KNOW …
No military pay was cut. Here’s the real story.
the military and govt worjers typically received between 1 and 4% par raise a year. Unlike many companies in the US mind you. The 2016 is set at a lower level. This is a congretional act…. by a majority of Repubs…. that is online with inflation.
So Warren, I can say you sit to not know and are unknowledable of facts and a sheep for baaahhaaa the author of this inflammatory article.
But yet the military and social security as well as VA disability can’t get a cost of living increase? This bastard is nothig but a self centered, self serving, muslim loving, racebating, POS traitor and his sorry$#%&!@*should be in prison with no I repeat no benefits or retirement of any kind. He deserves nothing but prison time.
Because he was a dishonest employee and a worse boss
We the ppl didn’t vote for that.. you need to be graded & demoted pay rsise
Maybe a GOOD cuban will take the muslim sonofabitch OUT. That would be some funnyshit.
and our military gets screwed again, when will enough be enough?
