You two may not remember but cutting OFF lifetime SS service was a cost saving measure I believe enacted by President Bush. He limited it to 10 years. I’m sure he felt Presidents were rich enough by then to afford their own private security if needed. Obama, as emperor, didn’t like that.
Yes, I do remember that-now we will have to wait for a reasonable and sensible congress-if such a thing ever exists again-to undo it again.
Considering what presidents make while in office-as much as many CEOs-, there are a lot of things they should pay for, as well-like their own vacations if they take more than one per year to go someplace they don’t own, or isn’t a perq-like Camp David-enough with the rock star entourages and occupation of entire condo complexes in Hawaii and Spain etc.
