Salary of retired US Presidents .............$180,000 FOR LIFE
Salary of House/Senate .......................$174,00​0 FOR LIFE
Salary of Speaker of the House ............$223,500 FOR LIFE
Salary of Majority/Minority Leaders ...... $193,400 FOR LIFE

soule:  Somethin wrong with this pictureMany military families can't even afford to pay their bills and are forced to look to the federal government for help; aka food stamps--yet Congress continues to enjoy a six figure income.  Shameful.
