Former presidents cost the taxpayers

WASHINGTON (The Washington Post) - So which of the three living former presidents costs taxpayers the most money? Bill Clinton, according to the Congressional Research Service’s latest figures.

The globe-trotting Clinton, with a New York office and a worldwide charitable enterprise, is asking for $1.16 million for fiscal 2008. That is more than double the amount requested by Jimmy Carter and substantially more than that by George H.W. Bush.
