George W. Bush is being paid almost $60,000 to pretty much do nothing until the end of his term

The US President makes $400,000 a year, which is $33,000 a month, over $1000 a day.... so Bush is going to sit back and do squat for his remaining two months in office, and get paid about 60 G's for it.... he don't need the money, wish they'd give it to me instead!!

Yea, but $60,000/300 million really isn't a lot. I calculate it as 1/50th of a penny. There are other better ways to get back money. It's outrage that is rather unjustified, imho.
It would be a lot if they just gave it all to me -- I'd do something about the economy right away, dude, I'd BUY stuff!! :)
I mean, seriously. The time that you took to write that wasn't worth it, assuming that your time is at least as valuable as the minimum wage.
Sorry, was writing that before your comment. I agree.
He's not idle; he's screwing with the rule book day and night. This has probably been the busiest time of his two terms.
Yes. But at his oil company[/ies] he got paid dozens of times as much for equally sucessful nothing.
I only disagreed because he's being paid much, much more. I'm pretty sure Bush's paycheck from Congress represents an insignificant portion of his total income--which is even more worrying.
I see what you mean....
That makes it pretty much like his entire term.
Hmm... kinda hard to reconcile the Paid To Do Nothing theory with the Deadly Last-Minute Executive Order theory. I wonder how (or if) people are doing this.
Damn sure they are.
