Ole BJ and Hill are making up for those times he was only earning $35,000/year as Governor of Arkansas.

Recall that Hillary claimed they were almost in poverty when they left the White House. [She could probably even come up with a photoshopped Food Stamps application, if she thought that would enhance her run for the White House.]

What a difference a few years of giving speeches and having a wife selling perks from the SoS office makes:

Yes, they/re filthy rich....but they didn't make it the old fashioned way...they didn/t earn it by the sweat of their brows like most Americans do.

The cunning Clintons co-opted taxpayers.....using information they compiled in a succession of tax-paid offices....not to mention stealing tax dollars which they characterized as foreign aid.

=============================================

Every aspect of the Bill Clinton presidency must be examined for wrongdoing. Recent news reports say the notoriously greedy Clintons used their tax-exempt Clinton Foundation charity to setup a Romney-like money-making private equity fund in the corrupt country of Columbia.

Why Columbia?

WIKI REFERENCE---In 2000, the Clinton administration committed $1.3 billion in foreign aid to the corrupt country of Columbia...... and up to five hundred military personnel to train local forces. An additional three hundred civilian personnel were allowed to assist in the eradication of coca.

The Clinton deal was an addition to $330 million of previously approved US aid to Colombia. $818 million was earmarked for 2000, with $256 million for 2001.

The Clinton-era appropriations for his Columbia Plan made Colombia the third largest recipient of foreign aid from the United States at the time.

--SNIP--

As of 2008, the U.S. has provided nearly $1.3 billion to Colombia through Clinton Plan Colombia nonmilitary aid programs:

<><> Alternative Development (2000-2008 cost: $500 million)

<><> Internally Displaced Persons (2000-2008 cost: $247 million)

<><> Demobilization and Reintegration (2000-2008 cost: $44 million)

<><> Democracy and Human Rights (2000-2008 cost: $158 million)

<><> Promote the Rule of Law (2000-2008 cost: $238 million)

LONG READ--REST AT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_Colombia

==============================================

UT OH---Obama/s now requesting billions for Columbia---to (cough) curb the drug trade.
