What Hillary is not telling us is that, on Jan. 20, 2001, she was a senator earning about $145,000 a year, and Bill started getting his presidential pension of approx. $100,000 a year.
Yes, they had legal bills, due to Bill’s bad behavior with women. But they were hardly dead broke and destined to live in the streets.
Heck, in 1999, they bought a mansion in New York, so Hillary could claim that as her residence so she could run for Senator from New York. If that’s her definition of poverty, I would like some of that poverty!
In June of 2001 Bill got a $12 million advance for his book deal
Few remember that the Secret Service built a residence on that property then paid rent equivalent to the mortgage payment, so essentially the home was free courtesy of the American Taxpayer.
One could also ask how Bill's huge multibillion dollar charities manage to run a deficit.
We(the US taxpayer) basically paid their mortgage on their Westchester County home in NY state. If you recall, they charged the US Secret Service $10K rent each month for Bill’s security detail to rent out the guest house on their property. It just so happens, that was their mortgage payment every month on the entire property. So, in a sense, we were paying their mortgage and still probably are.
