MAHMOUD BENNETT: AFTER JUST 44 DAYS OF SERVING AS THE BRITISH PRIME MINISTER, LIZZ TRUSS HAS QUIT HER POSITION. BUT SHE’S NOT WALKING AWAY EMPTY HANDED.
SHE’LL BE ABLE TO CLAIM UP TO 130 THOUSAND DOLLARS IN YEARLY ALLOWANCE FOR HER ENTIRE LIFETIME THANKS TO THE “PUBLIC DUTY COST ALLOWANCE” IN THE UK.
THAT WILL REIMBURSE ANY OFFICIAL DUTY EXPENSES TRUST HAS WHILE OUT OF OFFICE, AND ABOUT 10% CAN GO TO HER PENSION.
WHILE IT’S A SHORT TIME IN OFFICE TO EARN A LIFETIME OF PERKS, LEADERS AROUND THE WORLD ENJOY SIMILAR BENEFITS.
FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP HAS A LIFETIME PENSION OF $230,000 A YEAR, IN ADDITION TO SECURITY AND ALL KINDS OF PAID EXPENSES SET BY CONGRESS.
MEANWHILE FORMER VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE REPORTEDLY GETS ABOUT $85,000 ANNUALLY, DETERMINED BY HIS ROLE IN THE SENATE AND YEARS IN OFFICE.
IN FRANCE A PRESIDENT IS GUARANTEED ABOUT $70,000 WHILE THE FORMER CHANCELLOR OF GERMANY, ANGELA MERKEL, REPORTEDLY GETS PAID $175,000 EACH YEAR.
BUT WHAT WHAT DO YOU THINK OF LIZZ TRUSS’ LIFETIME ALLOWANCE FOR BEING THE SHORTEST SERVING LEADER IN THE HISTORY OF THE UK? LET US KNOW IN THE COMMENTS BELOW
