BS. Truman left office almost penniless. If he had been a crook, he would have done what Hillary did, selling her office to the highest bidders. Along with stealing most of the money that was supposed to go to the Haitians. She (even more than Bill whose only real interest, we are told, was in screwing as many women and girls as he could) was in it mainly for the money. That is indisputable.

Truman was voted a pension ($25K a year, modest even back then) because he was almost broke, and was in debt, when he left office. He was the reason Presidents started receiving a pension when they left office.

Neither of the Obamas had more than a few hundred thousand when they entered the White House, now they can afford to buy a $12 or $13 million dollar home on the shoreline at Martha's Vineyard, and still have plenty left over for a lavish lifestyle. They and the Clintons are perfect examples of Truman's quote.

Harry Truman said, "You can't get rich in politics unless you are a crook. It simply can't be done."
