It's a little-noticed part of the federal budget:  Each year U.S. taxpayers pick up the tab for the expenses of our former Presidents.  For the likes of Carter, Clinton and Bush that means free rent, postage, phone and office staff — all courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer.

They certainly don't seem to need the money.  These days being a former U.S. President is a lucrative business.  After all, Bill Clinton raked in more than $10 million just in speaking fees last year.  George W. Bush made even more:  $15 million just for giving speeches.
