Saving Millions (OT )

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

Assuming the next president lives to age 80:

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

Senator Obama would be retired for 26 years after 2 terms, and
would receive $4,973,800 in pensions.

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

HOW'S THAT FOR NON-PARTISAN THINKING?

And you have a scheme to save $5 million.

Chicken feed compared to our multi-trillion dollar deficit (and counting).

Really stupid.

As a 71 year old three-time cancer survivor, the odds are not great
that McCain will complete his term of office if elected -particularly
if he goes for two terms- and therefore the President's munificent (?)
pension would devolve on whoever McCain had selected as his Vice-
Presidential running mate, and would last for the rest of *his* life,
not McCain's.

Since that person will almost certainly be significantly younger than
McCain himself (after all, most people are) your supposed "savings" go
right out the door.

*BUT!*  We could save something on the order of 600 *billion* dollars,
if we elect someone who isn't likely to declare war on the wrong
country as The Shrub did.

Hey! This economic sense thing has positive aspects after all!
