Presidents pay for their own vacations and personal activities. Taxpayers pay for security. What would you like; that all future presidents take personal holidays and trips without security or that all future presidents take no personal trips or vacations whatsoever? Would this also apply to SS for former presidents?

obama lacks that decency.
Here is a shining example of "decency!"

Works for me.
Because it is against the law.

Congress can NOT pass laws affecting their pay. The can pass laws affecting the NEXT Congresses pay.

Hey quick, check this out.
This is really old new that if you were keeping up with politics, you would have known of this GOP proposal.
Quote:
In an effort to break the partisan deadlock, GOP leaders on Friday pitched an ultimatum aimed at the Democrat-controlled Senate. The plan, dubbed “no budget, no pay,” allows the government to get three more months of borrowing authority, with no immediate spending cuts required, in exchange for having to pass a budget within that time. If senators fail to do so, they will be denied their federal paychecks.

Proclaiming Christ as savior immediately prior to insulting someone. Way to exhibit Christian acceptance, love, and tolerance.
