Much like over here in the UK, I find it ridiculous that ex-members of government have a pension equivalent to their salary whilst in office.
Lets assume that each election cycle, 50% of the MPs are swapped out, that there are 200 MPs, and that the standard MP's salary is £64K (I'm largely pulling these numbers out of my arse) - that would mean that every election cycle the an extra £3.2 million of tax payer's money is being spent.
No wonder we have an escalating deficit.

Don't forget all the expenses that are paid for being a president during their term of service! So, if a president is frugal enough they could pocket a large share of their salary.
