I'm too lazy to do a search on this but if someone would check it out and post the numbers I'd appreciate it

<<I don't recall the numbers or the qualifiers but we pay huge amounts of money to Senators for the rest of their life. Hell....I don't even think they pay SS on that income.>>

I know it's hard for a wealthy guy like VP Cheney to not be receiving some sort of money from a corporation he once worked for (good for him for being successful). But, he should at least try to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest, like have the money placed into a blind trust while he's serving as VP. It's especially concerning since Halliburton is reaping so much government largesse in this current war effort.
