Americans look forward not backward. History is meaningless - including the press. Why is the press not bringing up Reagan getting paid around $2,000,000 for a Japanese tour.
I am not a fan for the Clinton's getting $500k for a speech, BUT this is not uncommon. The Repug idol Ronald Reagan got $2M after he left office from a Japan's Fujisankei communications conglomerate.
What is $2M in current dollars $4M? Where is the reporting? Where is the "fair and balance"d?
