even as the Clintons got rich and grew their foundation into a $2
billion organization credited with major victories in the fights against
childhood obesity and AIDS -- while paying six figure salaries to top
aides -- Bill Clinton continued drawing more cash from the Former
President's Act than any other ex-president, according to a POLITICO
analysis. The analysis also found that Clintons' representatives,
between 2001, when the Clintons left the White House, and the end of
this year, had requested allocations under the Act totaling $16 million.
That's more than any of the other living former presidents -- Jimmy
Carter, George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush -- requested during that
span.
The program supplemented the income of Clinton's staff, while
providing them with coveted federal government benefits, alleviating the
need for the Clinton Foundation or other Clinton-linked entities to
foot the bill for such benefits. Similarly, Clinton aides got the GSA to
pay for computer technology used partly by the foundation.
