Economic Politics

A non-partisan view of the economics of the coming election:

A president's pension currently is $191,300 per year, until he is 80 years old.

  • Assuming the next president lives to age 80, Sen. McCain would receive ZERO pension as he would reach 80 at the end of two terms as president.
  • Sen. Obama would be retired for 26 years after two terms and would receive $4,973,800 in pension.

Therefore, economically, we should elect McCain in November.

however, I'm sure McCain will live less than Obama anyway, so there's still a financial benefit :)
