Ex-Presidents on the Welfare System
Congressional Research Service announced the federal subsidies requested for the coming fiscal year by ex-presidents Jimmy Carter, George Herbert Walker Bush and Bill Clinton.
Carter (who continues to be a best-selling author): $2,000 for travel
Bush and Clinton (both millionaires): $50,000 for travel.
Bush said he needed $69,000 for "equipment" and $13,000 for postage.
Clinton, who earned an estimated $10 million last year on the corporate speaking circuit, requested $79,000 for telephone service.
All three filed for the maximum presidential retirement payment of $191,000 annually.

I couldn't find a way to contact you via your blog, so I'm posting this in the comments:
I video blogged the black tie fund raiser "Red Ball" this weekend. The event was the first for Red Cross in Kansas City and is scheduled to be an annual event at the Sprint Center each year (like Jazzoo and Treads and Threads). Approximately 1,000 people attended the event. You can read more about the event here: http://redballkc.org/Event-EventInfo/Index.htm
Here is the video blog:
