How to save the Gov. 5 million$

How To Save The Government $5 Million

A president's pension currently is $191,300 per year.

Assuming the next president lives to age 80.

Sen McCain would receive ZERO pension as he would reach 80 at the end of two terms as president.

Sen Obama would be retired for 26 years after two terms and would receive $4,973,800 in pension.

Therefore it would certainly make economic sense to elect McCain in November.

How's that for non partisan thinking???

Now that is thinking outside of the box....

Better yet would be to elect candidates like Ron Paul who refuse pension in the first place!

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Politicians remind me of a game show. Who wants to be a millionaire? The President does. And the first thing Congress does every year is vote themselves a raise. I would vote myself a raise too if I could, but I'm not that greedy.

Cute, but penny wise and pound foolish comes to mind...

Sound economic policy is not why I am voting for McCain.

Do you honestly believe logic like this has ever shut any of us up before?

Now quit thinking and stick your foot in your mouth ... like the rest of us  ;)
