The cost of maintaining former U.S. presidents


An infographic from The Telegraph, based on data from the Congressional Research Service.
The cost of funding the former presidents will raise eyebrows, given that the hefty speaking fees they can command after leaving office and the well endowed presidential centres and foundations that facilitate many of their post-presidential activities.
The figures don't include security provided by the Secret Service, costs which are on a separate, undisclosed budget. 
I suppose I'm crabby because I'm in the process of preparing my income tax paperwork, but I don't understand how George W. Bush can spend $85,000 on telephone bills.
