MY QUESTION IS: "DO ALL CANDIDATES WORKING FOR THE GOVERNMENT, STATE AND FEDERAL, RECEIVE PAY CHECKS, SICK LEAVE, VACATION AND RETIREMENT BENEFITS WHILE CAMPAIGNING?"

GOD HELP US! INFORMATION TO FOLLOW ON ONE FEDERAL EMPLOYEE.

If Hillary wins in 2008 and Bill is 'appointed' to fill her Senate seat and either live to retire 'they' (together or alone) would get two US Presidential retirement checks, two US Senate retirement checks, and a retirement check from the State of Arkansas .

About the only thing they MIGHT NOT get is a Social Security check....but I wouldn't bet on it...I understand ole Bill has earned $40,000,000 in the past six years. What a guy!

AND THE REST OF THE STORY... Hilarious Rotten Clinton, as a New York State Senator, now comes under the 'Congressional Retirement and Staffing Plan,' which means that even if she never gets re elected, she STILL receives her Congressional salary until she dies. (Would it not be nice if all Americans were pension eligible after only 4 years?)

If Bill outlives her, he then inherits HER salary until HE dies. He is already getting his Presidential salary until he dies. If Hillary outlives Bill, she also gets HIS salary until she dies.

Guess who pays for that?
