Hillary Clinton claims the famous couple was broke when they left the White House. Well
that is not the case now.
Harry Truman, a former President admired by both parties, never made a dime off being President. He retired to Missouri, never taking money for a speech as the former President, ie, never banking on the job.
The Clinton fortune now runs to the hundreds of millions, good work if you can get it.
Having a Founndation to spend %$50 M a year on your travel helps.
Is there a line that is being crossed here? When a politician retires from public life, they get to keep their campaign funds. So even if Hillary does not run, she keeps all the money raised, and is doing pretty well in the speaking department herself.
Should politicians be able to keep the money they raised to run whe they don't, run that is, We report, you decide.
