When Joe Biden leaves office, his pension will be larger than his presidential salary. @DOGE, can former president benefits be cut to something more reasonable? It’s the fiscally responsible thing to do. Current benefits are obscene. We are $36T in debt. Then, let’s look a Congress perks. When Joe Biden leaves office, he will be eligible for several federal perks: Pension: An annual pension equal to the salary of a cabinet secretary, which was $246,400 in 2024. Because Biden served in both the Senate and as Vice President, he is eligible for a congressional pension, potentially increasing his total pension income to around $412,774 per year. Office Space and Staff: Biden will receive funding to establish, furnish, and staff an official office anywhere in the U.S. This includes an allowance for office staff, which is $150,000 per year for the first 30 months after leaving office, then reduced to $96,000 per year. Travel Expenses: He and up to two staff members will be reimbursed for travel expenses up to $1 million annually. His spouse, Jill Biden, would be eligible for up to $500,000 per year for security and official travel if she does not receive Secret Service protection. Health Benefits: Provided he was enrolled in the Federal Employees Health Benefits program for at least five years, he will be eligible for health annuities, similar to all federal employees. Given his extensive service, this benefit is applicable. Secret Service Protection: Joe Biden is eligible for lifetime Secret Service protection. This protection extends to his immediate family under certain conditions. Funeral and Burial: Upon his passing, he would be entitled to a state funeral with full honors, including the option of being buried at Arlington National Cemetery. Communication and Equipment: Support for communications, including phone, cable, and shipping charges, as well as equipment like furniture or IT hardware. Printing and Supplies: Funding for office supplies, printing costs, and subscriptions. These perks are part of the benefits outlined in the Former Presidents Act of 1958, which seeks to maintain the dignity of the office of the president after their term. There's also mention on social media platforms like X of these benefits, reflecting public sentiment or awareness about these perks.

@PrincessBravato Taylor Swift was booed, not President Trump.

@SenAdamSchiff Like when Biden ignored the Supreme Court and forgave student loans? Did you speak up then, Schifty?

@SenWarren Nothing you say is credible, Fauxahontas.

@WhiteHouse @POTUS The timing is so perfect.

RT @POTUS:

@POTUS Beautiful! America is back!

This is true. Per Grok: Yes, according to various reports, the Pentagon spent approximately $1 billion on its audit for the fiscal year 2018. This audit was described as the largest ever conducted by the Department of Defense (DoD), involving extensive efforts to assess its financial management systems and accountability. Despite the significant cost, the audit resulted in a "disclaimer of opinion," indicating that the auditors could not form an opinion on the financial statements due to insufficient or inappropriate evidence. This outcome has been a point of criticism and discussion regarding the efficiency and accountability of military spending.

@SecretaryBurgum @PressSec @POTUS @Interior This is beautiful! The rightful name.

@conzmoleman @BraddrofliT Not true. I cared then, too.

@GaiusGuy @BraddrofliT Absolutely.

@RpsAgainstTrump We’ve already given enough to Zelensky. We want the minerals or our money back.

@LeadingReport Shut it down, but it won’t stop Trump.

@lsferguson What’s the IQ of a Maxi Pad? Very close to the same.

@EdKrassen The democratic party is the party of Hitler. The protesters are brainwashed.

@ExxAlerts Complete the audits and arrest the fraudsters. We want our money back.

@ExxAlerts When ICE is finished in California wonder if the state will turn red after the deportation of their illegal voters.

@TheRickWilson When Congress does this, we can talk again.

@PressSec Keeping the propaganda news outlets out of the Press Room is one step closer to their demise.
